Louisiana will receive more than $1.4 million from a civil settlement with Toyota Motor Corp. over issues related to what has been termed “unintended acceleration” with some Toyota vehicles, a state Attorney General’s Office spokeswoman said Friday.
A court-filed copy of the settlement states that Louisiana, 28 other states and American Samoa will share $29 million as a result of settlements
with the Japanese automaker. Toyota announced the
settlement with the states last week.
The Louisiana Attorney General’s Office accused Toyota in a Feb. 13 lawsuit of violating the Louisiana Unfair Trade Practices Act by failing to “warn of a known danger” and failing to “share critical safety related information and decision making between Japan and North American Toyota officials.”
Amanda Larkins, a spokeswoman with the Louisiana Attorney General’s Office, said Louisiana’s portion of the settlement is $1,457,058.
