ORDER:
(1) GRANTING IN PART AND DENYING IN PART PLAINTIFFS’ MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT; AND
(2) DENYING DEFENDANT’S MOTION FOR CLASS CERTIFICATION
[ECF Nos. 55, 76]
This case arises out of alleged misrepresentations and omissions made by Defendant Breg in connection with the marketing and sale of its Polar Care 500 cold therapy device (“PC 500”). Plaintiffs assert claims for violations of California’s consumer protection laws, common law fraud, and breach of warranty, and now move to certify a nationwide class and California subclass of consumers who purchased or rented the product.
