NEWTOWN, Pa., Sept. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The law firm Edelson Lechtzin LLP is currently investigating data privacy concerns stemming from a breach at Cornwell Quality Tools. The firm reported that Cornwell became aware of unauthorized data access around December 20, 2024.

Overview of Cornwell Quality Tools
Founded in 1919, Cornwell Quality Tools is a U.S.-based family- and employee-owned company engaged in the manufacturing of professional hand tools tailored for automotive, aviation, and marine sectors, utilizing American steel in facilities located in Ohio and Pennsylvania.
The Incident
On or around December 20, 2024, Cornwell discovered unusual activities within its network, prompting immediate measures to secure its infrastructure. Their investigation later revealed that an unauthorized third party had infiltrated their systems on December 12, 2024, leading to the unauthorized acquisition of sensitive data.
This breach potentially compromised a variety of personal information, including names, Social Security numbers, and financial account details, affecting an estimated 103,782 individuals. The scale and sensitivity of the data involved heighten the breach’s significance in the context of privacy risks and data protection regulations.
Mitigating Risks
For those who receive data breach notifications from Cornwell, it is crucial to take proactive measures against identity theft and fraud. This includes diligent monitoring of bank statements and credit reports to detect unauthorized activities. Engaging in such practices not only safeguards personal information but also fortifies one’s financial security in an increasingly digital environment.
Edelson Lechtzin LLP is pursuing a class action lawsuit to seek remedies for individuals potentially impacted by the breach. This legal action underscores the rising focus on data protection and the obligation of businesses to secure the sensitive information entrusted to them.
