North Texas Jury Awards More Than $242M For Lexus Seat Defect

DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM/AP) — A North Texas jury has awarded more than $242 million to a Dallas-area family who sued Toyota over what they said were defective front seats in their Lexus sedan.
Benjamin and Kristi Reavis alleged defects caused their front seat backs in a September 2016 rear-end collision to collapse on their two young children seated in child safety seats in the back.
Their attorney said the 5-year-old daughter and 3-year-old son suffered severe head trauma and other injuries.
