Details: Second Chance Body Armor, Inc. has reached a class action lawsuit settlement that could pay consumers up to $750 for each bulletproof vest they purchased from the company that contained the fiber Zylon.

The Second Chance bulletproof vest settlement will resolve a class action lawsuit claiming the vests failed to meet performance standards for which they were guaranteed and that the vests were unfit for their intended purpose.

Second Chance filed for bankruptcy protection in 2004 and its assets have been liquidated, so there is only a certain amount of money left to pay people and businesses that are owed money. Under the proposed class action lawsuit settlement, you may be able to receive up to $750 per vest as long as the Judge approves the settlement.

You’re considered a Class Member of the Second Chance class action settlement if you live in the United States and purchased or used a bulletproof vest manufactured by Second Chance Body Armor which contained Zylon. You can find a list of the Zylon vest model numbers covered by the class action lawsuit settlement at www.SCBAClass.com.

To receive any money from the Second Chance Zylon vest settlement, you must submit a claim form either online at www.SCBAClass.com or by U.S. mail postmarked by June 25, 2012.

    What a RIP OFF. I saw court docs stating that I was entitled $1500.00 and just checked a measly check for 170.00. These attorneys are making money hand over fist. I’m really upset that I was ripped off and the only ones benefiting are these shyster attorneys. Class actions only benefit the attorneys not the people who were damaged by these products.

      I feel the same way. I was supposed to get $2250. I got a check for $150 and another for $104. Its better than nothing, but those vests were expensive..only to find out they didnt have enough money to pay us properly…only because the greedy took it all before we could even get our proper cut.
