Learn how to Remington Rifle Trigger Defect Settlement at Remingtonfirearmsclassactionsettlement.com as the Remington Arms Company has agreed to replace the allegedly faulty trigger mechanism in nearly 8 million rifles.
Remington - America’s oldest manufacturer of firearms and ammunition - has agreed to a settlement to resolve claims that its iconic model 700 bolt-action rifle and other rifles can misfire due to a defective trigger mechanism. Under the settlement, the company will replace the allegedly defective triggers with new ones at no cost to the owners, and will provide vouchers ranging from about $10 to up to $12.50 each to owners of older rifles that cannot be retrofitted. Also, the company has agreed to pay $2,500 to each plaintiff and $12.5 million to the plaintiffs’ attorneys. However, all the benefits will become available only after the U.S. District Judge Ortrie Smith of Kansas City approves the Remington Rifle Trigger Defect Settlement.
As per reports, at least 24 deaths and over 100 serious injuries have occurred due to inadvertent firing of the guns. But Remington denies that the guns are unsafe, and blames users of the rifles for the accidents. The company has even said in a statement that it has agreed to replace the triggers just to avoid the uncertainties and expense of ongoing litigation.
