Oklahoma Blog: Defective Products and Recalls

At the end of June, General Motors announced a voluntary safety recall of approximately 240,000 vehicles. The recall is for 2009-2010 models of the Chevrolet Traverse, Buick Enclave, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook. GM discovered that safety belts might become damaged when owners fold second row seatbacks flat. This could make an occupant think the belt is properly latched when it isn't.  The defective auto injury lawyers at Atkins and Markoff examine this recall.
