Did you buy a PetSafe e-collar, fence, or barrier product in California between October 1, 2018 and October 31, 2022? You could be eligible for cash payments of $30 to $140 per product from a new $1.9 million class action settlement with Radio Systems Corporation—maker of the PetSafe brand.
Why is there a lawsuit?
A class action lawsuit called Hernandez v. Radio Systems Corporation claimed that certain PetSafe electronic training and containment products were marketed without adequately disclosing safety information.
The company denies any wrongdoing, and the Court hasn’t decided who’s right—but a $1.9 million settlement fund has been set up to compensate California consumers who purchased the affected PetSafe products.
Who qualifies?
You may be part of the settlement if you:
Lived in California at the time of purchase
Bought one or more covered PetSafe products between October 1, 2018 and October 31, 2022
Eligible PetSafe Products Include:
Bark Collar Products (e.g., Classic Bark Collar, Lite Rechargeable Bark Collar)
Barrier Products (e.g., Pawz Away Indoor/Outdoor Pet Barrier)
In-Ground Fence Products (e.g., PetSafe Classic or YardMax Rechargeable In-Ground Fence)
Wireless Fence Products (e.g., Stay & Play Wireless Fence)
You can submit a claim for up to 3 products without proof of purchase—just certify under oath which ones you bought.
How much can people get?
Each approved claim will receive a cash award per product type, subject to adjustment depending on the number of claims filed.
| Product Type | Cash Award (Each) |
|---|---|
| Bark Collar Products | $30 |
| Barrier Products | $35 |
| In-Ground Fence Products | $90 |
| Wireless Fence Products | $140 |
