Today, Napoli Shkolnik , on behalf of its clients, filed suit against AgustaWestland Philadelphia Corp. in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California. AgustaWestland is the North American distributor of Agusta A1091A and A109A MK II helicopters. These helicopters were identified last year by the FAA as being defective. As the Complaint notes, “[b]ecause of the tiny interior cracks that may develop with the Aircraft’s blades, the FAA requires owners to engage in a four-hour inspection process prior to using the Aircraft. This effectively renders the Aircraft unusable. Nor is the defect remedied by blade replacement because all available replacement blades would suffer from a similar defect and require the same onerous inspection process after 500 hours of use.”
根据投诉,AgustaWestland 欺骗购买者,在直升机首次出售时故意不披露此缺陷,即使在美国联邦航空局发出警告后,也没有采取任何措施以任何方式补偿所有者。该投诉指控加州消费者欺诈和保修法以及普通法欺诈索赔。 Napoli Shkolnik 将代表其他州的所有者提起额外的诉讼。
