Toyota ordered to pay family $242 mn over defect in car seat
Japanese carmaker Toyota was ordered to pay $242 million (nearly â¹1,690 crore) to a family on Friday after a Texas jury found 2002 Lexus ES 300 sedan's front seats were 'unreasonably dangerous'. The car was involved in a collision in which two children, aged 3 and 5, suffered serious injuries. "Toyota Motor Sales were grossly negligent," the jury said.
