Plaintiff Donald Ersler filed a complaint on behalf of himself and all
Wisconsin purchasers of Toshiba DLP projection television sets. He
alleges that the lamp light source for the televisions does not last
nearly as many hours as Toshiba represents. When television owners
find their bulbs have burned out much earlier than advertised, they
find that they must pay for a costly repair, one that Toshiba refuses
to honor under the warranty that covers the television.
Please
note that while the current case involves Wisconsin purchasers, we are
investigating the case and may file actions on behalf of people in
additional states.
Mr. Ersler has filed claims for breach of the
Wisconsin Deceptive Practices Act and for negligent misrepresentation.
He seeks to recover damages for the class, for the money they paid to
replace their television bulbs. You can view the filed complaint by

If you have
purchased a Toshiba DLP projection television and have experienced
problems with the bulb, we would like to hear from you. Please
