product_liability cooper_tiresHistorically, Cooper Tires has been able to keep its recalls out of the public eye by settling lawsuits out of court and including provisions in the settlements prohibiting public discussion of the agreement. More recently, however, Cooper Tires has come under heavy public scrutiny for the sale of certain products that are susceptible to high-speed blowouts.
Media investigators have found hundreds of court cases against Cooper Tires, involving more than 200 deaths and nearly 250 injuries allegedly caused by certain Cooper tires that are vulnerable to tread separation (the separation of one tire layer from the next, often leading to catastrophic tire failures).

The Defective Tires
Cooper Tires also manufactures and distributes tires under other names, including Futura Tires, Trendsetter, Discoverer, and Avon Tires. They have recalled tires for “slow air leaks,” and other innocuous sounding reasons, but many of these tires have blown apart at highway speeds and consequently killed and injured hundreds of people.
In February of 2006, Cooper Tires issued its most recent recall. The following models – manufactured between 2004 and 2005 – were identified as defective:
SUV and Light Truck Tires
|
Passenger Car Tires

Your Legal Rights
Cooper Tires has a responsibility to consumers to manufacture safe, satisfactory products and also to disclose any defects with its products to the public in a timely manner. The company has failed in this responsibility before, recently settling a lawsuit involving defective tires manufactured between 1985 and 2002.
If you or a loved one has suffered an accident caused by the malfunction of any of the above named Cooper tire models, you may be eligible to seek compensation for your pain, suffering, mental anguish, medical bills, and more.
