Class action lawsuit settlement will give greater protection to law enforcement

Lawyers Pitts Carr have announced a settlement of a class action lawsuit, which provides a $45 million product recall and that all purchasers and owners of Point Blank, PACA and Galls brand vests containing Zylon® are entitled to receive new non-Zylon® replacement vests and other benefits, at no cost. In addition, the defendants must conduct substantial testing of their used body armor and make their testing data, protocols and other information available to consumers.

The named plaintiffs for the class included the Southern States Police Benevolent Association and members of the Ohio Troopers Coalition.
