Toyota Motor Corporation

Tokyo, Japan: (Jun-24-07) An environmental pollution lawsuit was filed about eleven years ago by asthma sufferers in Tokyo against the automobile industry, including Toyota Motor Corporation. In a settlement reached by the Tokyo High Court, the seven carmakers, including Toyota, were ordered by the court to payout 1.2 billion yen (US$10 million) to resolve the air pollution suit. The carmakers had previously offered to settle for 400 million yen ($3 million) to 500 million yen ($4 million), which had been rejected by the plaintiffs. Sources say that the current settlement did not match up to the plaintiffs' expectations. [UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL: TOYOTA POLLUTION]
