Two drivers of Mercedes AMG cars have filed a class action lawsuit against the luxury car company, claiming that the AMG logo on their driver’s seat gets so hot that it literally brands them and causes burns.
Gabriel Lahijani and Karendeep “Karina” Bath allege the front seats of certain Mercedes AMG vehicles have a design defect where the raised metallic AMG logo is “reasonably expected to contact an occupant’s upper back, neck, or shoulder,” according to the court document filed earlier this week in the U.S. District Court of California’s Western division.
The plaintiffs want Mercedes to compensate them for any medical expenses, as well as any pain, suffering and emotional distress they can prove at trial. They also want Mercedes to pay for other owners to have the logo removed from their cars.
两名梅赛德斯AMG汽车司机因其标志存在烧伤隐患提起集体诉讼
两名梅赛德斯AMG汽车司机对这家奢侈汽车公司提起集体诉讼，声称驾驶座上的AMG标志会变得非常热，导致他们被烫伤。
根据本周早些时候在加利福尼亚西区美国地方法院提交的法庭文件，Gabriel Lahijani和Karendeep “Karina” Bath声称，某些梅赛德斯AMG车辆的前座存在设计缺陷，凸起的金属AMG标志“合理预期会接触到乘客的上背部、颈部或肩部”。
原告希望梅赛德斯赔偿他们的医疗费用，以及他们在审判中能够证明的任何痛苦、折磨和情感困扰。他们还希望梅赛德斯为其他车主支付移除标志的费用。
