Class Action Against Redbox

     LAS VEGAS (CN) - Redbox e-mails customers telling them they can keep rented movies an extra day for free, then charges them for the extra day, a class action claims in federal court.
     Class representative Bruce Forkush says Coinstar, which owns Redbox and its $1-per-movie rental kiosks, set up an online reservation system that allows customers to reserve movies and video games for pick up the next day.
     He says Redbox sent him an e-mail saying that he could keep the movie an extra day at no additional charge, then turned around and charged him for the next day's rental.
     Forkush seeks unspecified damages for alleged violations of the Nevada Deceptive Trade Practices Act.
     He is represented by Robert Gerard.
