Has it ever been so hot inside your car that your skin was BURNED by the belt buckle?

 

 

Two drivers of Mercedes-AMG cars have filed a class action lawsuit against the company . . . after they suffered second-degree burn injuries from the “AMG” logo on their driver’s seat, after the logo got super-hot from exposure to the sun.

 

 

(If you didn’t know, Mercedes AMG is a high performance subsidiary of Mercedes-Benz. So it’s basically another step up from “basic” luxury.)

 

 

They argue that the front seats of certain Mercedes AMG models have a design defect where the raised, metallic “AMG” logo is “reasonably expected” to come in contact with a driver’s upper back, neck, or shoulder.

 

 

So if your skin is exposed . . . if you’re wearing something sleeveless, like a tank-top . . . leaning against that logo can BRAND your skin.  (Literally!)

 

 

They want Mercedes to compensate them for any medical expenses, pain, suffering, and emotional distre
