class action into court. Stranch has issued a new opinion saying that
she is sticking to her guns. She said this case is different from
Comcast because the class action so far is proceeding to decide
liability, not damages. Also instructive: "Whirlpool's own documents
confirmed that its design engineers knew the mold problem occurred
