P.A. woman leading lawsuit against Apple Inc. over their “touch disease” issue
A Prince Albert woman is the lead plaintiff in a lawsuit against Apple Inc. over what’s commonly called “touch disease.”
The Canada-wide lawsuit, filed in the Saskatchewan Court of Queen’s Bench by Merchant Law Group LLC on Sept. 13, alleged Apple’s iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus smartphones contain a defect which renders their touchscreens unresponsive and unusable.
The class-action also claims Apple has “long been aware of the defect” but refused to fix the defective products.
P.A. resident Trina Wiegers, the lead plaintiff, said the issue began shortly after her one-year warranty expired.
