Berman Tabacco Appointed Co-Lead Counsel In Apple Processor Litigation

June 26, 2018

Berman Tabacco was recently appointed as co-lead counsel for a proposed nationwide class of purchasers of Apple devices, such as iPhones, iPads, and Apple TVs. The case alleges that certain of Apple’s devices are defective because their central processing units are subject to two vulnerabilities—called Spectre and Meltdown—that permit hackers to extract personal information from the devices. The case further alleges that Apple’s efforts to fix the defects have caused significant slowdowns in the performance of the devices. The lawsuit asserts product defect, breach of warranty, and consumer protection claims. “We look forward to litigating this case on behalf of millions of consumers across the country who were affected by the alleged defects in Apple’s processors” said Todd A. Seaver, a partner in Berman Tabacco’s San Francisco office. The case is: In re Apple Processor Litigation, No. 18-cv-00147-EJD (N.D. Cal.). The litigation team includes Todd A. Seaver and Matthew D. Pearson from the firm’s San Francisco office.
