Remember when the eclipse was happening and they actually did a pretty good job of removing all glasses which weren't safe?
They also recalled a number of good units, which only sowed confusion and anger among buyers.

- PurpleBoxDragon 8y agoI tried doing a limited google search for any news about that story that occurred since November of last year and got 0 hits. Did the case die or is it that the media just doesn't care enough for there to be a single update to the story?
- zyxwvu 8y agoProbably have to check court records to see if it's still open or closed and what happened.
- joezydeco 8y agoThere's activity on the case (2:17-cv-2313-PMD) as recently as earlier this month, but you'll need a Lexis or PACER account to dig in and see what's up. But it doesn't look dead. Amazon is going to probably bury the plaintiffs in paperwork.
