What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NY
Long story short, a pair of custom headlights were purchased from a company in MI my buddy found off instagram and they were crap. From day one there were problems(condensation) and they messed up the order and didn't include everything. After going back and forth for 2 weeks they finally got the right products shipped out and everything was received. About a month later(3rd week in october) the headlights were removed from the truck due both HALO rings dieing and the headlights having a problem where they turn on/off whenever they feel like when driving(or not on at all) which caused a huge safety problem making the headlights useless.
After all the problems already encountered my buddy called up his credit card company and filed a claim, after a couple of days he was refunded the money (~1800).
Today (a month later)he received threatening instagram messages claiming they are going to file legal action due to him "stealing" the headlights.
My question would be: is there anything he has to worry about? Can they sue him in MI? I know he could sue them in NY because they choose to do business here, but does that work the other way around)
Is there anything else that could possibly happen? The headlights are still sitting in his garage, they never requested that they be returned or anything, just blatant legal threats.
