Lawsuit Information
Two California residents have filed lawsuits claiming Polaris Industries Inc., Polaris Inc., and Polaris Sales Inc. (collectively “Polaris”) manufactured, marketed, advertised, and sold new RZR Side by Sides, or UTVs, that had a label on the rollover protective structure (“ROPS”) stating, “This ROPS structure meets OSHA requirements of 29 CFR 1928.53”.
You may be part of this class action if you are a California resident who purchased a new Polaris RZR (“the UTV”) at an authorized Polaris dealership at a physical, retail location in the state of California between August 8, 2016 and July 14, 2021 that had a label on the ROPS stating “This ROPS structure meets OHSA requirements of 29 CFR 1928.53”.
Polaris denies and is contesting the plaintiffs’ allegations and claims. The Court has not ruled on the merits of the plaintiffs’ claims or Polaris’s defenses.
This case is currently scheduled to go to trial. There is no money available now and no guarantee there will be in the future. However, your rights may be affected, and you have a choice to make now.
