Toyota Motor Corp. has recalled 90,189 Highlander SUV’s because third-row seat belts may not lock in some child-safety seats. So far, there have been no complaints of injuries as a result of the defect, but what if there had been?
The U. S. Chamber of Commerce talks about frivilous lawsuits and the need for extreme tort reform measures. Those measures infringe upon the rights of individuals who are seriously injured or killed as a result of defects such as these. Had one of these seat belts malfunctioned and led to the death of a child, shouldn’t Toyota be held responsible? Toyota wouldn’t be responsible because they intended to kill someone, but our laws say that if you put a product into the stream of commerce and that product is defective, you are liable for the damages you cause. That’s not frivilous. THAT’S THE LAW!!!!
