Direct purchasers of windshield washer systems have received preliminary approval of settlements with manufacturers DENSO and MITSUBA totaling $690,134. Kohn, Swift & Graf is one of the co-lead counsels for this direct purchaser class.

Mitsuba and DENSO allegedly conspired to raise, fix, maintain, and stabilize prices, rig bids, and allocate the supply of windshield washer systems sold in the United States, in violation of federal antitrust laws.

CLASS DETAILS

The settlements affect those who purchased windshield washer systems in the U.S. between January 1, 2000 and August 14, 2018 directly from any of the following entities:

ASMO Co. Ltd., ASMO Manufacturing, Inc., ASMO North America, LLC, DENSO Corporation, DENSO International America, Inc., American Mitsuba Corp., MITSUBA Corp., Valeo S.A., Robert Bosch GmbH, and Jidosha Denki Kogyo Co., Ltd.
