Two drivers claim the AMG logo on Mercedes seats overheats and causes burns, filing a class action lawsuit seeking compensation and logo removal.Summary
Two drivers of Mercedes AMG vehicles, Gabriel Lahijani and Karendeep 'Karina' Bath, have filed a class action lawsuit alleging that the raised metallic AMG logo on the driver's seat becomes excessively hot, causing second-degree burns when contacted through thin clothing. The plaintiffs claim the logo design poses a burn hazard and seek compensation for medical expenses, pain, suffering, and emotional distress, as well as a court order for Mercedes to remove the logo from affected vehicles. The lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court of California's Western Division. This claim comes amid prior legal issues for Mercedes-Benz, including a $149.6 million settlement in December over emissions test cheating software installed in over 211,000 diesel vehicles between 2008 and 2016.
