Yesterday a Florida jury returned a $5.6 million verdict against Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, saying the company sold a tire for use on recreational vehicles (RVs) even though the company was aware the tire was not suitable for RV use. The tires, Goodyear G159, were manufactured and sold for RVs between 1996-2000. Since that time, Goodyear has faced numerous claims resulting from tire failures and vehicle accidents, many resulting in serious injury and death.
