Toyota to pay RI $.5 million

Rhode Island is one of 29 states that have reached an out of court settlement with the Toyota Corporation over the company’s practice of concealing safety defects related to unintended acceleration.  The Ocean State will receive half a million dollars from the 29-million dollar settlement.  And Toyota will be restricted from advertising the safety of vehicles without engineering data to back up their claims.
