Toyota drags retailers to court for allegedly selling fake airbag accessories
Toyota Australia on Monday initiated legal proceedings against them for allegedly selling fake airbag accessories. The lawsuit, which was filed in the Federal Court by the Japanese-owned company, follows a six-month investigation into what Toyota claims are counterfeit parts being sold in place of genuine Toyota accessories. In a statement on Monday, Toyota Australia said it will argue before the court the actions of the two unnamed retailers amount to “trademark infringement” and “misleading and deceptive conduct”. “We are concerned that customers have been misled into believing they have purchased a genuine Toyota part,” the car maker said. The legal action relates to allegedly counterfeit airbag spiral cables, which Toyota said are of inferior quality and have not undergone the same “rigorous testing” as genuine Toyota parts.
