Bill prohibiting the rental of recalled cars considered

Posted on: 07-13-2012 Posted in: product liability, Product Recall

The bill is named for two women who were killed instantly when their rental car, currently under recall for a potential fire hazard, caught fire and collided with a semi-truck.
