Toyota Industrial Equipment Manufacturing Inc (TIEM) looses appeal in a 2003 forklift injury case |
T San Francisco, CA, United States | Toyota Industrial Equipment Manufacturing Inc (TIEM) has lost an appeal in a 2003 forklift injury case involving a perceived design flaw. A USD1.8 million jury award was affirmed.

The device applies more lateral force on forklift tyres than a conventional design, according to court testimony.
