A class action settlement has been reached over allegations Permatex automotive repair kit products were improperly labeled as being “Made in USA.” If you purchased qualifying Permatex automotive repair kits between March 27, 2009 and Dec. 19, 2014 that bore the statement “Made in USA,” you could be eligible for benefits from the class action settlement.
The plaintiff alleges Permatex, a division of Illinois Tool Works Inc., violated various California laws by using a “Made in USA” label on packaging for automotive repair kits that contain less than 100 percent domestic content.
The defendants deny the allegations but have agreed to settle the class action lawsuit to avoid the uncertainty and expense of ongoing litigation. The Permatex class action settlement was preliminarily approved on Dec. 19, 2014.
Who’s Eligible
Class Members of the Permatex class action settlement include anyone who purchased a qualifying Permatex automotive repair kit product in California between March 27, 2009 and Dec. 19, 2014 that bore the statement “Made in USA” on the product packaging.

thank you got check yesterday …….
I got $12.00 check today in California
Received check today in California for $8.00.
Jose you need psycho doctor. not love doctor. You must be one of those Hungry Hose.
People are complaining about the $2 but they dont understand everything is negotiable. There is always a line in the form where you can state exceptional circumstances. I put in for $300 because I can prove my whole life I bought only made in America and this item was not. Because of this I will get a bonus award over just the $2.
make sure you let us know when you get your 300 dollars okay.
settlement is a joke, because who in their right mind is going to waste their time to file a claim for $2 and have to send in proof. Not worth the trouble.
This lawsuit is only for CA residents.
My family has used there product line for many years.
They make one of the best headlight cleaning products in the market place at a very reasonable price,
Their wheel cleaner easily removes the grease and grime.
I will not be surprised to see this lawsuit go national
