She's not wrong, but... $5 million?
17 0 ReplyIf anything, she is owed the cost of the product and legal fees. Is she alleging emotional damage? Disappoinment is not worth $5 million.
10 0 ReplyIt's a class action lawsuit, so the $5 million would be split up across everybody that purchased this product (and the lawyers).
14 0 ReplyOnly the lawyers make any real money. See: Sandpiper Crossing, Goodman, Hamlin, Hamlin, McGill, et al.

There's often large numbers depending on the severity, to discourage others from doing it. It doesn't need to just be compensation to the person.
