Attorney Seeks Class Action Lawsuit Against Bridgestone-Firestone

It must feel like deja vu for Bridgestone-Firestone as a Californian attorney is seeking to expand complaints about alleged defects in Steeltex tyres into a national class-action lawsuit. Two Californians are suing Bridgestone-Firestone and the lawyer claims that the tyres are responsible for a dozen deaths and more than 100 injuries. Bridgestone-Firestone deny the allegations, pointing out that an 18-month investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) found that the tyres out-performed some competitors’ tyres.
