Today, Napoli Shkolnik , on behalf of its clients, filed suit against AgustaWestland Philadelphia Corp. in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California. AgustaWestland is the North American distributor of Agusta A1091A and A109A MK II helicopters. These helicopters were identified last year by the FAA as being defective. As the Complaint notes, “[b]ecause of the tiny interior cracks that may develop with the Aircraft’s blades, the FAA requires owners to engage in a four-hour inspection process prior to using the Aircraft. This effectively renders the Aircraft unusable. Nor is the defect remedied by blade replacement because all available replacement blades would suffer from a similar defect and require the same onerous inspection process after 500 hours of use.”

Según la demanda, AgustaWestland engañó a los compradores al no revelar a sabiendas este defecto cuando los helicópteros se vendieron por primera vez e, incluso después de la advertencia de la FAA, no hizo nada para compensar a los propietarios de ninguna manera. La demanda alega reclamos bajo las leyes de garantía y fraude al consumidor de California, así como reclamos de fraude de derecho consuetudinario. Napoli Shkolnik presentará demandas adicionales en nombre de los propietarios en otros estados.
