NBA Team files $4 million defective product lawsuit due to faulty workout equipment

The injured NBA player, Francisco Garcia, was bench pressing two large dumbbells while balancing on the exercise ball when the commonly used piece of equipment allegedly burst, causing Garcia to fall and break his wrist. Due to his personal injury, Garcia missed four months of the regular season. According to sources, he had just signed a five-year contract extension for $29.6 million. The lawsuit filed by lawyers seeks $4 million because this figure represents the amount of compensation paid to Garcia by the Kings during his time on the injured reserve.

NHTSA Gives Information on Air Bags

Oftentimes children injured by airbags when they are in the front seat and an airbag deploys. Remember that, on an average sized adult, the airbag is going to hit them primarily in the chest. There's a lot of force involved in being hit with an airbag. It's much more than the average person could throw in a punch, to give you a point of reference. On a child, however, that airbag is likely to deploy directly in their face, which could cause serious injuries or death. Even if you're just driving across a parking lot, a child needs to be in the backseat in an appropriate child safety device.
