Jim mentioned earlier that he didn't consider Consumer Reports "above reproach in reply to Del's statement. This was in today's paper. It's another victory for consumers over big business. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jury denies damages to Isuzu in Consumer Reports case LOS ANGELES--Isuzu Motor lost a claim seeking damages from the publisher of Consumer Reports, which a federal jury found had made false statements about the safety of the Trooper sport-utility vehicle. Thursday's verdict and denial of damages came after four days of deliberations. Isuzu filed its product disparagement and defamation suit in 1997 seeking $244 million in damages over the 1996 article. Consumer Reports, a magazine that focuses on product testing, gave the 1995-96 Isuzu Trooper a "not acceptable" rating after the vehicle tipped during test maneuvers. It also sought a government recall. |
