Product Defect class action settlements
Product defect settlements reimburse repair costs, extend warranties, or pay cash for products that failed or were recalled: vehicles, appliances, bike components, supplements, and recalled foods. These usually require the most documentation (receipts, VINs, repair invoices), but the per-person amounts are often the largest on the site.
