Another sworn declaration, by Hoyt Schmidt, executive vice president at Point Blank, said the company sold 443,395 vests between Jan. 1, 2013, and July 16, 2018 and fewer than 222 were returned for issues with the shoulder strap or c-clamp that the straps loop through. Of those, many of the problems stemmed from the stitching, not the “alleged loss of adhesion that Plaintiffs complain about,” Schmidt wrote.
