Overview of the Lawsuit

In the ongoing class action lawsuit known as Johnson v. Glock, Inc. which is presided over by the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, serious allegations have been made against the firearm manufacturer Glock. Specifically, the case (Case No.: 3:20-cv-08807-WHO) points to claims that certain Glock pistols, made to fire various calibers (including 10mm, 40 S&W, 9mm, 45 ACP, 45 GAP, .380, and .357 Sig), are designed in such a way that they may be considered 'unreasonably dangerous' and unfit for their intended use.

The allegations highlight consumer protection concerns, including claims of unfair business practices, failure to disclose critical information regarding the safety, and misleading advertising by Glock concerning the nature of their products.
