Recently a bunch of companies including Axe (I believe) had to recall products for lethal levels of poisonous compounds in body sprays.

Jesus Christ, I swear to god these class action lawsuits are so pointless on so many levels. All they usually are is a small fine for these companies. Lately they have just been trying to transfer the debt to another company and declare bankruptcy.

I worked for Rite Aid and there was some lawsuit regarding unpaid overtime. I probably had been out of there for a decade when I got a check for like $5 in the mail. I wonder if those who were actually affected by the issue got the same--which I'm sure was not enough.
