Telescope Price Fixing

$32M settlement for overcharging for Telescopes

Bought a telescope since 2005? You may have over paid and may qualify for a refund.

About the Case

🎉 Hey Telescope Lovers, It’s Settlement Time! 🎉

‍

Did you buy a telescope between January 1, 2005, and September 6, 2023? If so, you might be in for a $32 million settlement payout – and it's time to see if you're eligible! 📡✨

‍

Here’s the scoop: A group of telescope buyers (like you) filed a class action lawsuit against some major telescope manufacturers (think Celestron, Orion, Skywatcher, Zhumell, and Meade) over allegations that these companies conspired to fix or stabilize prices, making you pay more for your telescope than you should have. 😱

‍

So, what's the deal?

If you qualify, you could get a slice of the $32 million settlement pie. But first, you need to file a claim to get your share.
