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.”
Lahijani, a Los Angeles resident, reported receiving second-degree burns on his back after entering his vehicle wearing a tank top. Bath, a Chatsworth, California resident, experienced similar burns after her shoulder touched the logo while wearing a sleeveless top.
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.
两名梅赛德斯AMG汽车司机就其标志的潜在烫伤隐患提起集体诉讼
两名梅赛德斯AMG汽车司机对这家豪华汽车公司提起集体诉讼，声称他们驾驶座上的AMG标志过热，导致他们被烫伤。
原告加布里埃尔·拉希贾尼和卡伦迪普·“卡琳娜”·巴斯指控某些梅赛德斯AMG车型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”。
拉希贾尼是一名洛杉矶居民，他在穿着背心进入车辆后报告了二度烧伤。巴斯是一名来自查茨沃斯的加利福尼亚居民，她在穿着无袖上衣时，肩部接触到标志后也经历了类似的烧伤。
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。
