Wal-Mart Is Sued Over Imported Bikes
From Associated Press
A class-action lawsuit was filed Monday against Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and a California company, alleging that they imported defective bicycles that injured at least nine children.
The suit, filed in Marin County Superior Court, says Wal-Mart conspired with San Rafael, Calif.-based importer Dynacraft Industries and investigator Carl Warren & Co. to cover up the fact that the front wheels of the bicycles can easily detach after hitting a bump, causing serious injuries. According to the suit, at least nine children sustained injuries such as broken teeth and head trauma.
A spokeswoman for Wal-Mart said she had not seen the lawsuit and could not comment. No one from Dynacraft was made available for comment.
