Over the past year, Volkswagen has been forced to issue a number of recalls for serious vehicle defects that pose risk to consumer safety. This is not only involving Volkswagen models, but also Audi vehicles, which the company also manufactures. This latest round of recalls involves nearly 600,000 vehicles and is the result of two distinct defective systems. This is not related to the defective anti-lock brake issue that already caused a major recall in January 2017.
Every day, we use a large number of products that were designed to make our lives more enjoyable and easier. In some cases, we are talking about a household product and in other case we are talking about a vehicle. Whatever the product may be, we are trusting that it will do its job and not cause any personal injury to us or to our families. With some products the danger is more obvious, while in other cases it may not be clear that any danger exists.
However, as our Boston defective products lawyers have seen in far too many cases, when products are not designed in a safe manner, they can result in serious injury or even death, and that can be devastating to victims and their families. Fortunately, in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, we have a very strong consumer protection law (Chapter 93 A of the MGL) that your products liability attorney may be able to use to help get you a full and appropriate financial recovery.
