Attorney General Matthew J. Platkin today announced a lawsuit against Sighttps://f.io/hJ3W16tT Sauer, Inc. for multiple violations of the State’s Firearms Industry Public Safety Law and the Consumer Fraud Act (CFA). The lawsuit seeks to halt the sale of the P320 handgun, which has killed at least one New Jersey local law enforcement officer and wounded other law enforcement officers and civilians around the State due to its well-documented propensity to fire unintentionally.
“We ask law enforcement officers to put their life on the line every single day to protect the public. Gun manufacturers have a moral duty to ensure that those brave officers are not put in harm’s way because of defective weapons,” said Attorney General Platkin. “Officers, as well as civilians, in New Jersey and across the country have suffered immense harm as a result of Sig Sauer’s actions and brazen deceptions, which is why we are filing this lawsuit today. No one is above the law — and if you break our laws, we will hold you accountable.”
