In re: Aftermarket Automotive Lighting Products Antitrust LitigationMDL 2007, U.S.D.C., Central District of California February 2009
Hausfeld LLP is among the counsel for a putative class of direct purchaser plaintiffs in this antitrust price-fixing class action in which plaintiffs allege that three Taiwanese manufacturers of aftermarket automotive lighting products (“AALP”), and their wholly-owned United States distributors, unlawfully conspired to fix prices in violation of the Sherman Act. AALP are replacement and supplementary automotive lighting products, and are distinct from lighting products made for incorporation into new vehicles. AALP includes headlamps/headlights and bulbs; parking, tail, and interior lights; spot lights, fog lights, and auxiliary lights. Defendants collectively sell hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of AALP in the United States. The firm’s clients include automotive products suppliers in Iowa and Nebraska.
