Re: MN hunters sue Scentlok and Scentblocker
I agree that a lot of people bought it before they realized it was bogus. I was one of them. I think the point of this lawsuit is that there are more people everyday buying it because they don't know it is bogus. Anyone who thinks the guys who filed the suit are trying to make a quick buck do not understand the system. I don't think the guys who filed the suit are trying to get rich, and in fact just the opposite is true. It looks ot me like they are spending a LOT of their own money because of a sense of justice. I am no attorney here but here's what I see happening: This will become a class action lawsuit where each and every person who has bought the stuff will be offered some kind of a settlement. It will proboably be a nominal amount and not worth filing the paperwork, but enough people will do it to cost them a lot of money. Additionally, they will be court ordered to stop saying what they have been saying about it, and that alone will probably be enough to put an end to sales, plus the negative publicity that they get in the outdoor media from the suit. It will likely be the end of the product as we know it. Worst case scenario for those involved will be some jail time if the court finds that they knowingly made statements about the product's effectiveness that they knew to be untrue. I have no doubt that that's the case but we'll have to see what the court says. That's fraud and some people may serve some time over it.
It will be very interesting to see how this shakes out over the next couple years. I applaud the four guys who are willing to step up and take on this huge bogus money machine at their own expense. All hunters owe them a debt of gratitude.
