Pet owners have HOURS left to claim $140 checks from $1.9 million ‘collar’ settlement...
California pet owners have until December 29th to claim up to $140 from a $1.9 million settlement regarding PetSafe electronic collars.Summary
Pet owners in California have a limited time – until December 29th – to file claims for a $1.9 million settlement related to PetSafe electronic dog collars. The lawsuit accused Radio Systems Corp. of misleading advertising, specifically claiming the collars were “safe” and “harmless” without disclosing potential risks to pets’ well-being. Eligible customers who purchased qualifying products between October 1, 2018, and October 31, 2022, can claim up to $140 per product, with varying amounts depending on the item type – $30 for Bark Collars, $35 for Barrier Products, $90 for In-Ground Fence Products, and $140 for Wireless Fence Products. The lawsuit cited scientific research suggesting shock collars can cause stress and depression in animals, and argued owners wouldn’t have purchased the products had they been aware of the potential harm. Radio Systems Corp. denies wrongdoing but settled to avoid further litigation, with the settlement including $633,270 for attorney fees.
