Two drivers of Mercedes AMG cars file class action lawsuit over an alleged burn hazard in its logo
Two Mercedes-AMG drivers sue over hot seat logos that allegedly burn occupants, seeking damages and logo removal.Summary
Two drivers, Gabriel Lahijani and Karendeep “Karina” Bath, have filed a class‑action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of California alleging that the raised metallic AMG logo on the front seats of certain Mercedes‑AMG vehicles becomes hot enough to cause second‑degree burns when occupants sit in the seat. Lahijani, who leased a 2026 AMG E‑Class, reported burns on his back after entering the car in a tank top, while Bath, who owns a similar model, suffered a burn on her shoulder after a sleeveless top made contact with the logo. The plaintiffs seek compensation for medical expenses, pain, suffering, emotional distress, and a removal of the logo from all affected vehicles. Mercedes‑Benz has not yet commented on the suit.
