Lawyer Michael Tein, who is pursuing a class action in California against Sharper Image over an allegedly defective air purifier, has persuaded a Miami federal judge to delay approval of a $60 million settlement in a similar case. Tein's presentation showed what class members could buy with a proposed merchandise credit: socks or a trick golf ball. The Florida judge also directed attorneys to remove a provision barring anyone in the class from suing the retailer over health claims related to the purifier.

Sharper Image was so confident its settlement of a federal class action suit in Miami over an allegedly defective air purifier would be approved that it included news of the $60 million plan in a stockholder report.
But Miami attorney Michael Tein, who represents 2 million consumers in a similar national class action suit brought in a California state court, derailed the settlement, at least for now, after appearing Tuesday at a hearing before a Miami federal judge.
