Dusevic & Garcha has filed the within proposed product liability multi-jurisdictional class proceeding which involves allegations that certain model and model year electric-scooters engineered, designed, manufactured, assembled, tested, supplied, and/or sold by the Defendant, Segway Inc., and marketed, imported, distributed, supplied, and/or sold by the Defendant, VisionUp Canada Inc., in Canada, including the Province of British Columbia, equipped with a defective folding mechanism incorporated into the vertical stem leading to the handlebars, intended to facilitate compact storage. In particular, the electric-scooters suffer from a design and/or manufacturing defect whereby the folding mechanism is prone to progressive loosening with regular use, resulting in the collapse of the vertical stem leading to the handle bars during operation, thereby causing sudden and unanticipated loss of control and/or balance, all of which creates a real, substantial and imminent risk of harm, injury and/or death to the rider.
