The class-action lawsuit brought against Apple following the iPod Nano "scratch scandal" has crossed the Atlantic. Seattle-based lawyers Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro (HBSS) said yesterday they had filed a parallel complaint from UK resident Ben Jennings. The lawsuit was filed with the US District Court for Northern California.
Jennings claims he bought a Nano in September but despite treating the screen "extremely cautiously" it became "so marred with scratches it became hard to read", according to HBSS. How long did it this take? Within a week, the plaintiff claims. "If I had known the truth about the problem, I never would have purchased a Nano," said Jennings via his legal representative.
