Lawsuit says Bass Pro won't honor lifetime warranty on socks

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) - A Missouri man says in a class-action lawsuit against Bass Pro that the outdoor outfitter is refusing to honor its lifetime warranty on its socks.

Kent Slaughter of Springfield said that after years of exchanging his ``Redhead Lifetime Guarantee All-Purpose Wool Socks'' every time they wore out, the Springfield-based company changed its policy in 2021 before he tried to return four pairs of socks.

The Springfield News-Leader reports that instead of getting another pairs with a lifetime warranty, Slaughter said he was given socks that only carried a 60-day warranty.

A Bass Pro representative said the company won't comment on pending litigation.
