How to File a Claim for the Taurus Firearms Recall

You have probably come across recalls over the past few years for products such as Hot Pockets, Peloton bikes, dog food, chicken, sunscreen, Philips CPAP machines, and even metformin tablets. Recalls are common throughout every industry, even tightly controlled sectors such as firearms. This is evidenced by the recent Taurus firearms recall, which affected nearly a million gun owners across the U.S., Puerto Rico, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Although most products are designed and manufactured with the best of intentions, defects and errors sometimes work their way into the final product. In order to mitigate the hazards of such defects, many companies issue recalls. For individuals affected by these recalls, filing a claim can be time-consuming and complicated. That's why many people use DoNotPay to simplify and streamline the recall claim process.

What are the Details of the Taurus Firearms Recall?

In 2015, Taurus International, the manufacturer of a range of handheld pistols, was the defendant in a class-action lawsuit concerning firearm safety mechanisms.

• PT-111 Millennium
• PT-132 Millennium
• PT-138 Millennium
• PT-140 Millennium
• PT-145 Millennium
• PT-745 Millennium
• PT- 609

How Do I Make a Claim for the Taurus Firearms Recall?

If you want to tackle the Taurus recall on your own without assistance, follow these steps:

1. Call the Claims Administrator: Call Heffler Claims Group, the Court-appointed Claims Administrator for this case, at 1-844-528-0180. They will ask for your contact information, firearm details, and purchase information.
2. Provide Documentation: Heffler Claims Group will ask you to provide documents and photographic evidence to prove ownership of the Taurus pistol, as well as any supporting evidence of negative impacts due to the defect.
3. Shipping: Once they have confirmed that your Taurus pistol is part of the recall, you will be asked to ship the pistol to Taurus Companies for inspection and repair or replacement.
4. Returned: Your repaired or replacement pistol will be returned by mail.

PLEASE NOTE: Your pistol can only be returned by mail if permitted by the local laws of your municipality, so be sure to check local laws before shipping a firearm.

How Long Does the Recall Process Take?

While the 2017 settlement originally included cash reimbursement, the deadline to file a claim for cash payment was February 6, 2018. Fortunately, you can still file a claim to have your Taurus pistol repaired or replaced.
