Toyota Lawsuits Advance to Next Stage

A federal judge in Santa Ana, California recently announced a significant development in what promises to be one of the most wide-ranging defective products cases ever undertaken. In recent months, nearly 350 personal injury claims have been filed against Japanese automaker Toyota, many of which claim that the company’s cars were based on faulty designs and defective parts that led to collisions, malfunctions, and other problems.

In the most recent announcement, the judge overseeing the case has said that he plans to form several committees to oversee the various cases against Toyota. Specifically, the judge has said that he will likely divide the cases according to category, such as economic loss, injuries, and other claims. This approach is relatively common in large class action suits.

First Wave of Lawsuits Filed in Toyota Recall Incident

In a massive recall that has shaken the global automotive market to its core, carmaker Toyota recently stopped selling eight of its most popular North American models, and has also recalled more than 8 million existing vehicles for repairs. The issue at hand is a problem with the vehicles’ pedals and/or floor mats that can potentially lead to unintended acceleration.

Across the United States, lawsuits are already being filed linking Toyota’s defective components to recent deaths, injuries, and damages. According to some industry experts, the dollar amount of Toyota’s liability in the matter could run into the billions. Affected consumers have already begun to petition for class-action status in the case, allowing groups of Toyota owners to band together to file a lawsuit.

Apple Hit with Defective Product Lawsuit that Targets iPod's Earbud Design

Those ubiquitous white earphones that seem to be everywhere you look these days are the focus of a defective product lawsuit that was recently filed against computer industry giant Apple. A class-action case claims that the unique "pod" design of the earphones could be linked to possible hearing loss, because they place the source of the sound much closer to the ear's delicate inner workings than other headphone designs do. In addition, the lack of a safe maximum volume control has been cited in the case as possible negligence in the design. At the current juncture, it is unclear whether and when the case will move forward.
