Motor Corporation, U.S.A., Statement on Holt vs
Yamaha
Trial Verdict in Orange County,
CA: Jury Finds No Product Defect with Yamaha Rhino
Cypress, CA (7/27/2010)
- The jury’s decision in Orange County,
California, to reject the plaintiff’s claims
and award no damages in this case is appropriate.
The jury made a decision based on the facts. The
testimony and evidence during the trial showed that
this unfortunate incident had nothing to do with
the design of the product.
Yamaha is saddened whenever anyone is injured
in an accident involving a Yamaha product. This
incident underscores the importance of following
the safety guidelines posted on the Rhino and
in the owner's manual, and to always operate the
products in a safe and responsible manner. Drivers
and passengers should wear helmets, protective
gear including over-the-ankle foot wear, and the
vehicle’s three-point seat belts at all
times, and never drive a Rhino when under the
influence of alcohol or drugs.
The Rhino is a safe and useful off-road vehicle
that has won virtually every “first in class”
award and top safety ratings in independent reviews
since its introduction.
Yamaha stands firmly behind the Rhino and will
continue to vigorously defend the product. To
