I signed up years ago as a member of this class action suit, and I did get a postcard from them last week. I also printed out all the info. As well, I spoke to the Cosmetics Counter Manager at one local Macy's, and--surprise, surprise!! they actually know about it. She doesn't know what products that particular store will receive nor any quantities. I also am trying to figure out how they will keep track of these products--she didn't know any procedure for inventory, etc. Good luck, as this should be a real crapshoot. I'm hoping to go the night before and put something on hold.

[sunninjimmy]

Thanks for the info.

[xvoltagex]

all the products sound great- sounds like it will be a good day

[bartolec]

This sound so familiar ... I'm sure I signed up as Pat did a long time ago. Thank you for the info ...

[TinamarieMizzer]

So, what happens? We just go to Macy's?

[oxengemini]

This is so cool. Vera Wang's Princess and I have to meet up again. Just wanna thank you for the heads up.

[xaviersmommy]

Sounds good! From what I understand this lawsuit has been going on for a LONG time

[DiamondStella]

If a class member has only purchased products, during the class period, from one of the Manufacturer Defendants listed below, then that class member is only entitled to receive a free product from that Manufacturer Defendant. If a class member has purchased products, during the class period, from multiple Manufacturer Defendants, then that class member must choose the ONE free product he or she wishes to claim from one of those Manufacturer Defendants.

So if we don't have to show proof how are they going to know if we just purchased one product and from which brand? It doesn't seem to matter anyways because the last sentence only allows one product per person.

Does anyone know?
