#Class-Action

Blair Gladwin owns Gladwin Guns and Ammo in Merced, California. He claims that Paypal, Stripe and Square online payment processing companies are violating the California law known as the Unruh Civil Rights Act and Gladwin has filed three class action lawsuits, one against each of the businesses.

Alas, all good things (that admittedly were borne of bad things) must come to an end. L3 Corporation’s EOTech division has reached a settlement agreement with the filed class-action lawsuit, which will end EOTech’s open refund offer for its fielded holographic weapon sights manufactured from January 5th to November 1st, 2016.

Big Green has gotten a small amount of good news; a U.S. District Judge Ortrie Smith has approved Remington’s Settlement Agreement with the aggrieved Remington 700 trigger class.

Century Arms, Inc. is now subject to a class-action lawsuit filed on January 19th over defective AK-47 safety / selectors. In short, the lawsuit claims that the safety / selector used on most Century Arms AK’s after 1995 are capable of moving past safe and when moved such, able to discharge a round unintentionally.

Taurus has released statements through Shooting Sports Retailer regarding their recent settlement of a class-action lawsuit regarding several its pistol models, all of which were susceptible to discharge when dropped. Anthony Acitelli is the CEO of Taurus USA, the US distributor for Taurus International products. From Shooting Sports Retailer:

In a case that almost made it through the cracks T opClassActions reports that Taurus agreed in May of this year to settle a class-action lawsuit brought over nine handgun models, including six of the PT Millennium models. In response to common practice, Taurus legally does not admit to wrong-doing, but has agreed to pay $30 million to the Class members and agreed to “enhanced lifetime wwarranty and training for the firearms.”
