Eotech getting sued?

[Big E3]

It looks like those of us that got a check for the returned sight will get an additional $22. I’ll have to sit down and think what I want to buy with all that new settlement money. So, is it safe to assume that some lawyer agreed that an additional $22 was all he could get for each of us previous customers? Is it safe to also assume that the lawyers may have gotten the lion’s share of the real money?

It's a voucher for eotech products.

That's the way it always is with class action suits. That's why IMO most class actions are just a scam to enrich the lawyers and convey no real benefit on the supposed "victims" on whose behalf the lawyers are suing.

I got a postcard last week with info about joining the class-action suit.
Tossed it in the trash.

I got one of those as well, I think I still have it, but what's the point in joining in if I already got my money back?

Never had an issue with any of my EOTechs--I love them but I've registered them within the lawsuit. If I read the fine print correctly, Instead of sending them back for a full refund, I get to keep my optics and get an EOTech credit for each optic registered. I will be happy to purchase another EOTech product in the future as i don't rely on my optics for duty or self defense. Win win situation for my range toys.

read the fine print, if you got a refund, you can't join the class action lawsuit... or if you take the offer of the vouchers/cash that they're offering- it's in exchange for giving up your right to sue.
