Remington settles Sandy Hook families' lawsuit
Settlement
In February 2022, nine families of Sandy Hook victims settled their lawsuit with Remington Arms. The settlement resolved the families' legal claims against the firearms manufacturer. At the time the settlement was reported, the exact terms had not yet been announced. The available account does not specify the amount, conditions, or other details of the agreement, and no further outcomes were disclosed in the source summary.
Source excerpt
The nine families brought a class-action suit in 2014 against Remington Arms, which made the weapon used in the mass shooting claiming the gun-maker sought to sell the military-grade weapon to the mentally ill.
Those attorneys “contended that the company marketed rifles by extolling the militaristic qualities of the rifle and reinforcing the image of a combat weapon — in violation of a Connecticut law that prevents deceptive marketing practices.”
