Product defect and recall settlements
Product defect settlements refund what people paid for goods that failed or were recalled. Payouts are usually tied to the specific model you owned rather than being one flat amount, and many pay more if you return the defective item or can document a repair or replacement you bought yourself. These settlements almost never cover physical injury — injury claims are handled in separate cases with their own deadlines. Each settlement below lists the covered models and what they paid.
