FTS was sued in Philadelphia in May by the families of two men killed when a van they were in crashed last year. Also suing are the driver and another passenger in the van, which the lawsuits claim had Hangzhou Zhongce tires.
FTS later sued the Chinese company, saying that its tests found the tires could fail earlier than the timescale provided by the company and a recall would put FTS out of business as it is a small, family-owned importer of tires.
The lawsuit seeks unspecified monetary damages and an injunction that would bar Hangzhou Zhongce products from being imported. It comes amid a surge in China-U.S. disputes over the safety of Chinese-made toothpaste, toys, pet food and other products.
