Remington states the settlement is an effort “to avoid the uncertainties and expense of protracted litigation.” This comes as part of a settlement of two class action lawsuits accusing Remington and its owners of “negligence, breach of warranty, unfair and deceptive trade practices, and fraudulent concealment”. In a story that broke earlier this week on the NBC News website, NBC announced that Remington has agreed to recall all Remington 700 rifles. If your rifle falls under the recall, Remington will issue a prepaid shipping label. If you would like to check if your rifle is covered under the initial recall you can enter your serial number on Remington’s webpage. The recall information found on Remington’s website states that excessive bonding agent in the trigger mechanism could cause an unintentional discharge. The recall covered all Remington Model 700 and Model 7 rifles produced between and April 9, 2014. Earlier this year Remington announced a product safety recall of the massively popular Model 700.
