Privilege Underwriters Reciprocal Exchange PURE Insurance, a high-value U.S. asset insurer, filed a lawsuit against LG Electronics
PURE Insurance, based in Florida, said on Thursday local time that it has filed a lawsuit against LG Electronics on behalf of Matthew McCune and his wife in New York
According to the complaint, the McCune couple had an accident in November 2021 in which water flowed out of LG Electronics’ washing machine and flooded their house Upon checking, it was found that the secondary overflow detection system of the washing machine was not working properly
PURE Insurance claimed that LG Electronics did not solve the problem even though it knew that the secondary overflow detection system of the washing machine might not work properly, causing damage to the McCune couple’s home It also pointed out that LG Electronics was at fault when it designed and manufactured washing machines
PURE INSURANCE, in turn, called on LG Electronics to compensate for all damages to the McCune couple’s home and property
The lawsuit is again raising concerns about the safety of LG Electronics’ washing machine Previously, LG Electronics was sued in 2020 for a house flooding accident due to a malfunction of the washing machine
Meanwhile, LG Electronics paid a settlement of up to $1,150 per person in a class-action lawsuit over a refrigerator in 2020, and a class-action lawsuit of $5 million last year We cannot rule out the possibility that the washing machine will also lead to class action through this lawsuit
