Harrison Pensa LLP and Consumer Law Group Inc. commenced proposed class actions in Ontario and Quebec against various lawn mower and lawn mower engine manufacturers. It is alleged that the defendants participated in an unlawful conspiracy to raise, fix, maintain or stabilize the price of lawn mowers in Canada, lessen unduly competition in the production, manufacture, sale and/or supply of lawn mowers and lawn mower engines, and/or to conduct business contrary to the Competition Act and the Consumer Packaging and Labelling Act. The class actions are brought on behalf of all persons in Canada who purchased a walk-behind or riding lawn mower containing a gas combustible engine labeled at 30 horsepower or less between January 1, 1994 and December 31, 2012.
Previous settlements have been reached with MTD, Briggs & Stratton, Electrolux, John Deere, Husqvarna, Kohler and Toro, totalling $4.5 million dollars. A further settlement has now been reached with Honda for $700,000. Hearings have been set in Ontario and Quebec courts to approve the Honda settlement agreement.
