Show wyv s Coimsymeirs Wcunit icafety, NEW YORK (AP) - Con- sumers are demanding safer and more reliable products and are using the courts to get their point across. Quality control, once just another aspect of the production process, is the new pressure point in any company today, The responsibility for turning out products that are good as advertised no longer is just a matter of a firms reputation or a customer's continued The obligations confidence. are even greater and business knows it. Money is involved. Suits by consumers are becoming more common. And lurking in the background is the threat of government regulation, which business understands equally well. Selocibiillii'&y Just this month General Motors was sued in Los Angeles for $427 million for allegedly refusing to replace defective wheels on thousands of trucks. The suit was filed by two men on behalf of thousand of others. George Anthony, one of the plaintiffs, purchased a Chevrolet pickup with a camper body. He was one of 150,000 buyers who received letters from GM last May advising him that yheel failure could result from overloaling the vehicle. As Anthony read the letter, which urged him to replace at hi3 own wheels the expense, he became incensed. He decided to sue, he said, because of GMs position that the wheels on the while truck were not satisfactory, they ought to be changed my expense. Although not typical, Anth- suit demonstrates the aggressive attitude being taken today by consumers who only a decade or so ago would have resigned themselves to accepting whatever the manufacturers offered. Consumrs today know that products can be improved, for they've seen thousands of industries end hundreds of thousands of workers combine their efforts to make a rocket and moon vehicle that performed with better than 99 per cent efficiency. onys Quality is improving, Assistant Officer Named By UP&L Arnold Machinery ground today for 43,000 square foot warehouse building 21st South.
