Microsoft Settlement Funds
Microsoft Settlement Funds
Background
As a result of a numerous class action lawsuits filed in the early 2000s, Microsoft Corporation agreed to provide vouchers to consumers and businesses in many states and the District of Columbia to purchase certain hardware and software products. However, comparatively few eligible consumers and businesses took steps to obtain the vouchers. Therefore, the states have been (or are expected to be) effectively holding millions of dollars of unclaimed funds. Under the terms of a "cy pres" provision in the settlement agreements, states can direct a portion of the settlement funds represented by unclaimed vouchers to certain schools to purchase hardware and software products. Every state may handle the vouchers differently and each has established its own procedures and criteria for how schools and/or school districts can claim the money, including dates by which vouchers must be redeemed in order to receive a share of the settlement funds.
Certain states (e.g. California) have specifically identified SAFARI Montage products as eligible for Microsoft cy pres settlement funding. SAFARI Montage products may be an eligible purchase for purposes of this funding in other states. The links below will direct you to information for those states known to still be allowed redemption of settlement vouchers. You may also contact your state's Department of Education to see if your school or district is eligible. The Settlement Administrator has a toll-free number, (888) 230-0363, available for school districts' contact personnel to get answers to additional Microsoft Settlement Cy Pres questions.

NOTICE: The supervisory panel has recently published an article in the American Journal of Cardiology entitled "". The 20-year activities of the medical supervisory panel appointed under the terms of a settlement agreement of the Bowling v. Pfizer suit involving the Bjork-Shiley convexo-concave heart valve are detailed. The article is provided in its entirety on this website by clicking on "".
In 1992, Pfizer Inc. and Shiley Incorporated, a wholly owned subsidiary
of Pfizer Inc., negotiated a settlement with members of the Bowling class
in the case called Arthur Ray Bowling, et al.
v. Pfizer Inc., et al., C-1-91-256, United States District Court
for the Southern District of Ohio, Western Division, currently assigned
to the Honorable Herman J. Weber.
The Bowling class members were recipients of a mechanical heart valve
manufactured by Shiley known as the Bj&rk-Shiley Convexo-Concave
(BSCC) who claimed that the heart valve was defective due to a small,
but potentially catastrophic risk of strut fracture.&The class is
defined under the settlement agreement ( - )
as &all living persons currently implanted with C/C heart valves
and their current spouses& as of January 23, 1992, except those persons
who opted out (excluded themselves) from the class.
have been developed to determine
which patients with Bj&rk-Shiley Convexo-Concave heart valves will
be compensated from the Settlement for their valve replacement surgery.
The guidelines are based on a comparison of the risk of the operation
to replace the valve with the risk of fracture if the valve is left in
place. If the risk of valve fracture exceeds the risk of reoperation,
the class member qualifies for monetary benefits.
As part of the Bowling Settlement, Pfizer and Shiley agreed to deposit
money into certain funds.&This web site is presented by The Special
Masters/Trustees for the Bowling-Pfizer Heart Valve Settlement Funds and
the Supervisory Panel to provide information about the settlement. The
Trustees have placed on this web site information concerning the settlement,
including the Trustees' ,
which allow interested people to read about this settlement's progress
since its inception.
