A Los Angeles judge has dismissed a class-action lawsuit accusing Takata Corp. of manufacturing seatbelt buckles that came unbuckled on their own during accidents. In the ruling, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Maureen Duffy Lewis rejected plaintiffs claims that Takata sold buckles that had not been properly tested, an attorney for the company said. Total potential damages in the case were estimated to be about $247 million. An attorney for the plaintiffs said they plan to appeal the decision.
