Zilinsky v. LeafFilter North Settlement
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF OHIO, EASTERN DIVISION
You may have received a notice because the business records of LeafFilter North, LLC (“LeafFilter”) show that you are the owner of a LeafFilter Gutter System and you opened a service ticket with LeafFilter relating to Debris Accumulation. You may be eligible to receive certain benefits from a class action settlement. Benefits of the settlement include receipt of three (3) Vouchers for future Debris Accumulation Cleanings (normally a $285 value) at no additional cost to you. Alternatively, you may be eligible to receive cash reimbursement up to $200 if you incurred out-of-pocket expenses for cleaning debris off the top of your LeafFilter Gutter System or removed your LeafFilter Gutter System entirely because of issues with Debris Accumulation. You MUST submit a Claim Form to receive a benefit under this settlement. Claim Forms may be submitted via U.S. Mail or online through the Settlement Website.
Your legal rights are affected whether you act or don’t act. Read the notice carefully. If you know or suspect that your LeafFilter Gutter System has caused significant damage to your home, you should strongly consider excluding yourself from this Settlement (see below).
