Two drivers, Gabriel Lahijani and Karendeep Bath, have initiated a class action lawsuit against luxury car manufacturer Mercedes-Benz, alleging that the metallic AMG logo on their driver's seat causes burns due to excessive heating. The legal complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court of California's Western division, claims that the logo design defectively contacts the occupant's upper back, neck, or shoulder, leading to potential injuries. Plaintiffs seek compensation for medical expenses, pain, suffering, and emotional distress, as well as funding for other vehicle owners to have the logo removed. Lahijani, a Los Angeles resident, sustained second-degree burns on May 31, while Bath, a Chatsworth resident, experienced similar injuries in June. Mercedes-Benz has yet to issue a statement regarding the allegations. Notably, in December, Mercedes-Benz USA and parent company Daimler AG agreed to pay $149.6 million to settle accusations of installing secret emission test devices in hundreds of thousands of vehicles between 2008 and 2016.
