Settlement Information
A proposed Settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit filed in the Superior Court of California, Jessica Ratzak, et al. v. Thinkware Systems USA, Inc., Case No.: S-CV-0049793. The lawsuit alleges that Thinkware Systems USA, Inc. (“Defendant”) violated the law by misrepresenting and falsely advertising that its Thinkware X700, F200PRO, DC-M2-FG-IR, DC-M2-FG, and F70PRO dashcams (“Class Products”) featured a “Super Night Vision” function, but failing to disclose that the function was only available in parking mode. Defendant denies these allegations and any wrongdoing but has agreed to settle the lawsuit to avoid further litigation.
