Have you ever bought Petsafe e-collars for your pet? You may be part of a new $1.9 million class action settlement reached with Radio Systems Corporation over allegations that its PetSafe e-collar products were marketed without adequately disclosing safety information. The settlement benefits California consumers who purchased certain PetSafe e-collar, fence, or barrier products between October 1, 2018 and October 31, 2022.
Radio Systems denies wrongdoing. The Court has not decided who is right. Payments will be made if the Court grants final approval.
What are PetSafe e-collar, barrier, and pet fence products?
PetSafe e-collar, barrier, and pet fence products are electronic training and containment systems made by Radio Systems Corporation to help manage pet behavior and movement. E-collars use sound, vibration, or mild static signals to correct barking or reinforce commands, barriers create invisible zones to keep pets away from restricted areas, and pet fences use in-ground wires or wireless signals to safely contain pets within a set boundary.Who Is Included?
