Canada's Lithium-Ion Battery Class Action Ends Soon & You Can Get Money For Your Electronics

You don't need a receipt, either!

Staff Writer

November is here, which means next month is the last month that you can make a claim in Canada's lithium-ion battery class action lawsuit.

The class action, which was announced back in August 2021, has a deadline of December 17, which is fast approaching at this point. However, eligible Canadians can still make a claim.

You're eligible to claim money from the class action suit if you purchased an electronic device with a lithium-ion battery between 2000 and 2012.

If you did make an eligible purchase but don't have a receipt, you can still submit a claim and receive up to $20 as a result. If you do have a receipt of your eligible purchase, you could receive even more money than that depending on what you bought.

The total amount of money to be doled out is $21.3 million, and it applies to purchases of items like laptops, notebook computers, MP3 players, cell phones, smartphones and more.

If you are eligible to receive some money from the settlement, there are only a few steps to go through before you can expect to receive your money.
