US Consumer Watchdog Group Beleaguers Bridgestone/Firestone
The Consumer Group Public Citizens is urging Bridgestone-Firestone/USA to recall another 7 million “Wilderness” tyres and is citing an alleged 1,000 consumer reports. The management of the tyre manufacturer insists that all Firestone tyres are safe and that a recall is not necessary. Only a few weeks ago the same group strongly urged Goodyear to recall 13 million Goodyear tyres which are, according to the files of the consumer group, not safe. Goodyear also refused to do so, claiming that the products are perfectly okay.
