A Choice win in the defamation court
Article Abstract:
Choice published an article in 1992 that exposed a faulty hose connection in Bowin Designs' Mod-n-Aire MS12 gas heater. Several consumers reported that the hose became detached, igniting leaking gas. Bowin Designs sued Choice for defamation, but it was ruled that Choice was within its rights and acting for the good of the consumer when it published the article.
