I received a 12 pg notice from Capacitors Indirect Case (document attached) which could result in getting your share in a Class Action Settlement against numerous Defendants in the case, including Elna, Matsuo, Nichicon, Panasonic, Sanyo, Rubycon, Nippon Chemi-Con, United Chemi-con to mention a few. The case has to do with an unlawful conspiracy to fix, raise, maintain or stabilize the price of Film and Electrolytic Capacitors.
Details on the case, what you have to do to file a claim, legal fees via appointed Class Counsel, etc are all within the file. I believe this is only for US citizens, or those purchasing thru US Distributors.
At least since I've been doing maintenance/repair at CenterStaging since March, 2009, I have most of the receipts in my database. Since this case covers the purchase from Distributors between 2002 and 2014, digging out the receipts before 2009 will be tedious, but, all those purchases were done via CC, and I no doubt have the actual receipts filed away for use in my yearly tax filings for my business.
Not that it will amount to much, not being a manufacturer, but, it might be worth putting together the details and filing the form. It looks like the Attorney's fees is around 30%, so that's a slice off the top on whatever might come your way if your claim is found valid.
