A class action lawsuit was filed against Apple, Inc. on behalf of iPad tablet computer purchasers. The suit alleges that the iPad, shuts down from overheating under normal operating conditions, even far below Apple's advertised temperature limits, making the product virtually unusable for many of its advertised functions.
While the lawsuit alleges technical problems with the iPad, the focus of the action is on Apple's advertising of the product. The lawsuit seeks damages, including punitive damages, and restitution for the alleged false advertising scheme. Apple has sold over 3 million units.
