A class action lawsuit in Canada was settled on Tuesday for $29.7 million regarding the price-fixing of certain optical disc drive (ODD) electronics, including DVD and Blu-Ray players, CD players, desktop computers, and video game consoles.

The lawsuit filed in British Columbia, Ontario, and Quebec alleged that between January 1, 2004, and January 1, 2010, these ODD products were sold above their value, causing consumers and businesses to spend more than they should. The brands mentioned in the lawsuit include BenQ, Hitachi-LG, NEC, Panasonic, Phillips, Pioneer, Quanta, Sony, TEAC, and Toshiba Samsung.

Canadians can be paid a minimum of $20 per claim and do not need to provide proof of purchase. Those who wish to claim more than $20 will be required to submit a receipt, but the refund amount will depend on the number and size of claims submitted by all Canadians.

Those looking to file a claim can do so online until November 14, 2022.
