A Los Angeles judge has granted class action status to a lawsuit that charges consumers were wrongfully charged for Girls Gone Wild videotapes and DVDs.

The action by Superior Court Judge Wendell Mortimer, Jr., clears the way for the lawsuit to proceed. It charges that Mantra Films Inc. automatically signed customers up for monthly mailings after they requested a reduced-price "introductory" mailing.

"I ordered a video off the tv offer for $10 and every month now I receive a video and they charge my credit card $25 and I do not want the videos. I've tried contacting them to cancel it," said Jeremy of Marysville, Ohio, in one of hundreds of complaints received by ConsumerAffairs.com
