Assploding carbon defect lawsuits

Interesting and level-headed overview of the rising number of lawsuits against the manufacturers of carbon bike parts. Story also looks at the iffy-ness of buying used carbon bikes.

FTA: The San Diego attorney "obtained documents from the Chinese manufacturer (a settlement agreement forbids him from naming the company). Using a Mandarin translator, he found that the factory had no standards on how carbon fiber is produced. No rules restricted how thick it should be or how much impact it needed to absorb in a collision, Coats said."
