Hi Karam-ga!
I did an off-line research and I found out that nine personal injury
or product liability lawsuits have been filed against Denman Tire
during the last ten years in federal court. I’ve found also a lawsuit
filed at the United States Court of Appeals and another one was filed
in State court (Washington state).
Here you have some information on them:
