A federal appellate court on August 1 reinstated a product liability lawsuit against firearms manufacturer Sig Sauer, following allegations that the company's P320 handgun discharged unintentionally during a law enforcement training drill. Keith Slatowski, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer and former Marine, was injured in September 2020 when his holstered sidearm fired after his hand inadvertently contacted the grip at a Delaware shooting range. Slatowski sustained a gunshot wound to his hip and thigh, prompting him to sue Sig Sauer for $10 million, arguing that the absence of an external safety on the P320 made the firearm unreasonably hazardous. The 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals determined that the trial judge erred by discounting evidence related to alleged design defects, allowing the case to proceed. Notably, the P320 model has faced multiple lawsuits and consumer complaints involving accidental discharges. Sig Sauer has not publicly commented on the courts latest ruling.
