PACE URGES RECALL OF BRIDGESTONE/FIRESTONE STEELTEX TIRES.
(Full text of statement. Contact details below.)
NASHVILLE, Tenn., Feb. 27 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --
The following statement is from the Paper, Allied-Industrial, Chemical & Energy Workers Intl. Union:
The 300,000 member Paper, Allied-Industrial, Chemical and Energy Workers International Union is supporting a law firm's efforts to have Bridgestone/Firestone Steeltex tires recalled by the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA).
Lisoni and Lisoni, a Pasadena, Calif., law firm that is heading this effort, has questioned the components used to manufacture the tires. Carbon black, one of the components, is a bonding material, and defective carbon black can cause tread separation.
Goodyear filed suit against Continental Carbon, one of Bridgestone/Firestone's chief suppliers, in May 2003 for the alleged delivery of defective carbon black. Goodyear discovered the alleged defective carbon black through its own independent testing, and severed its business relationship with Continental Carbon. Not all of Continental Carbon's customers conduct separate testing, and many rely on Continental Carbon to provide carbon black that meets customers' specifications.
PACE believes that both Bridgestone/Firestone and Cooper Tire received shipments of defective carbon black from Continental Carbon, but have continued their business relationship. According to PACE, this may be putting their customers and shareholders at risk.
