transmise le 28 avril 2009 par Business Wire

Twin sisters Victoria Vaughn Holsted and Valerie Vaughn filed a Petition for Preservation of Evidence in Los Angeles Superior Court today against Southwest Airlines [NYSE: LUV]. They claim that exposure to contaminated air while passengers onboard Southwest Airlines Flight 1705 from Los Angeles, CA to Nashville, TN on January 27, 2009 has caused them to suffer serious and debilitating health problems, among them motor skill deficiencies, loss of balance, vision impairment and uncontrollable tremors. The plane in question was a Boeing 737-300 jet aircraft and the itinerary for Flight 1705 also included stops in Birmingham, AL and Baltimore, MD. Despite repeated requests, Southwest Airlines gave Victoria and Valerie the runaround when they called the airline with questions as to what they were exposed to on Flight 1705 so that their doctors would know how to best treat them, and calls to the Federal Aviation Administration offered no pertinent information, compelling them to file this Petition. Victoria Vaughn Holsted and Valerie Vaughn, Petitioners, vs. Southwest Airlines Co., Expected Adverse Party, Case No. BS120400.
