Mold settlement and Frigi-Fresh

Two questions here. First, has anybody been involved in the class action suit over mold in their cars? If so, what happened?

Second, took my car in for "B" service and they used BG Frigi-Fresh and have never done this before. Looked it up and appears used to clean the HVAC system. Is this stuff any good?

Frigifresh works but is completely unnecessary unless there is odor/mold smell coming from the hvac.that being said....of the hundreds of products BG touts, frigifresh and the direct injection cleaner are the only two I think actually work. GM has/had a problem with the DI getting fouled. Their own pass through cleaner didn't work. BG did. ​​​​​​​The only benefit to the use of BG products is that if you stay on their maintenance schedule and you are under 100k miles, they will warranty any part that utilizes their product.
