Plaintiffs seek monetary and injunctive relief from Leatherman
Calling those lawyers ambulance chasers may be apt, but without ambulance chasers, certain things would never come to light. If Leatherman really was deceiving the public by branding non-US made tools US made, then they bilked the public out of a premium. That is no way to treat good, hardworking customers.
What I mean is essentially I have no problem buying tools that are made in healthy countries....I wouldn't buy a Gerber even if it was the latest and the greatest, because it's made in unhealthy economies. Of course then the argument begins if the US is actually a healthy economy....but at least I'm an American, so it's an apple pie and hardball thing.
