CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT DEMANDS RECALL OF MILLIONS OF AIR INJECTED TENNIS RACKETS
/EINPresswire.com/ FLUSHING, NY - November 27, 2012 - A Billion-Dollar Class-Action Lawsuit has been filed against the Wilson Sporting Goods Company, on behalf of millions of recreational tennis players, including children, who have suffered arm injuries (elbow, forearm, wrist, shoulder).
The plaintiffs charge that Wilson makes air-injected (hollow) tennis rackets which contributed to hundreds of millions of wrist, elbow and shoulder injuries since the inception of air-injected rackets in 1978.
The plaintiffs are represented by the Ming Hai Law Firm in Flushing, NY, and the suit has been filed in the Eastern District Court of New York. (Case Number: CV12-5577).
The suit asks the Court for redress, relief, $1 billion in punitive damages and calls for a Recall of millions of air injected tennis rackets as a "Class B Hazard" under Consumer Safety Product Commission regulations due to the high likelihood of users procuring tennis elbow or shoulder or other arm injuries.
The Complaint also asks the Court to make a judgment requiring all tennis rackets in the future to carry a warning label, especially when they are intended for use by minors.
Plaintiffs claim that the defendant knowingly manufactured the unsafe rackets without warning of possible side effects. The governing body of the sport - the International Tennis Federation -- states that half of all recreational tennis players suffer from tennis elbow. http://www.itftennis.com/scienceandmedicine/injury-clinic/tennis-injuries/tennis-elbow
