Lawnmower manufacturers settle in class action suit

More than 20 lawnmower brands, including motor manufacturers, have agreed to a settlement in a class action lawsuit over falsely advertised horsepower, according to an article on consumeraffiars.com

The lawsuit, filed May 2009 in a federal court in Wisconsin, said that the manufacturers "significantly overstated" the horsepower of the subject lawnmowers, "failing to disclose...[their] true, significantly lower horsepower."
