I bought Focal Stella Utopia Evo, but...

Finally, I won the case.

The court ruled that I should receive a full refund of the purchase amount, along with interest on the purchase and reimbursement of legal expenses.
It took a staggering 4 years and 4 months to reach this verdict.

Focal is truly an astonishing company.
Even though their flagship model had a manufacturing defect that caused significant harm to the consumer, they did absolutely nothing to resolve the issue.

Since I still have to enforce the refund, I don’t expect the process to go smoothly. But one thing is certain: I will never use Focal again, and I’ll strongly advise anyone against buying their products.

I hope many people become aware of this.
My man that is fantastic news! I realize the final conclusion of funds in your account is probably a ways out but you stood your ground and came out on top. Your perseverance is commendable to say the least! Best of luck on the final stage.

Uggg. You have to collect? Sucks. My gut says they will refuse to pay. You will lean the business and never see the money. Sorry.
 
I really hope you will get the financial compensation the court decided. The importer/dealer, I guess they are to pay, are they still in business?
Thank you.
The business is still operating,
and there are assets that can be seized.
