I doubt it is possible to effectively take a class action in California against a Swedish company unless the defendants has a legal presence in California or the US.
I would have thought KNC would only worry about actions brought under Swedish law.
This is completely absurd. Many
thousands of European companies have been sued in the Federal Courts of California. Happens all the time. If you sell products to Americans, you 'avail yourself' of the laws and courts jurisdiction. US consumer laws protect US citizens. You can sell defective dangerous products to Americans and avoid
consumer protection laws. Otherwise, dodgy companies would all just go set up operations is some shit bag country and sell dangerous products competing with companies who sell well designed product in conformance with the laws.
Why oh why do people believe that Swedish companies are allowed to sell dangerous products to American citizens without having to answer to laws in the US. That is very funny.
To avail yourself of consumer protection laws, you have to have bought as a consumer.
The T&Cs you agreed to say that you didn't.
