Two Mercedes-AMG car owners have filed a class action lawsuit against the luxury automaker, accusing it of a design defect that has led to burn injuries caused by the hot AMG logo on the driver's seat. The plaintiffs, Gabriel Lahijani and Karendeep "Karina" Bath, claim that the raised metallic logo on certain Mercedes-AMG vehicles comes into contact with an occupant's upper back, neck, or shoulder, causing burns. The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court of California's Western division earlier this week, seeks compensation for medical expenses and pain and suffering, as well as funding for other owners to have the logo removed from their vehicles. Lahijani, a Los Angeles resident, alleges he sustained second-degree burns on his back after entering his newly leased 2026 Mercedes-AMG E-Class vehicle, while Bath, a Chatsworth, California resident, claims she received similar burns from the logo design while wearing a sleeveless top. The lawsuit comes amidst previous allegations against Mercedes-Benz USA and parent company Daimler AG, who agreed in December to pay $149.6 million to settle claims that they secretly installed emission test devices in hundreds of thousands of vehicles between 2008 and 2016.
