EAST ST. LOUIS, Ill. (Legal Newsline) – An Illinois law firm wants to be the lead plaintiff in a class action lawsuit against Toyota over an alleged echo in its hands-free phone system.
Adam B. Lawler Law Firm is the plaintiff in the April 1 lawsuit, though it is represented by three other law firms. The firm leased a Tundra and is seeking to represent a class of others who purchased or leased a Toyota with the alleged defect.
Representing the Lawler firm are Goldenberg Heller, Law Office of Richard S. Cornfeld and Arias Sanguinetti.
“The echo defect makes continuation of the phone conversation impossible to maintain, meaning Plaintiff and Class Members have therefore purchased or leased vehicles with hands-free phone systems that are virtually unusable,” the lawsuit says.
