This is related to the stolen formula scandal of 17 years ago?

Finally winding through the courts huh?

I'll get similar something in the mail I think- I joined the same or similar class action regarding motherboards with those exploding caps.

Got one myself. Half tempted to just toss it.

I did.

Though a few "NOS" capacitors floating around here may be from the manufacturer in question.

Hydrogen bomb on a circuit board...Whoda thunk it?

I feel left out. I didn't get one. Maybe because I'm still using those Aerovox PCB filled condensers (capacitors).

I like the "frame it" idea.

Meh, probably bought capacitors back then. I'd have a hard time proving it, and don't recall ever joining a lawsuit. What could it possibly pay?

Oh, 'bout tree-fiddy.
