Case Summary:This settlement is part of the ongoing massive Automotive Parts Antitrust Litigation, this time involving the former TK Holdings, Inc., now in bankruptcy and settling as the TK Holdings Trust. The complaint alleged that the defendants in this case conspired to suppress and eliminate competition for occupant safety systems sold to direct purchasers in the US. As a result of the anti-competitive actions, the complaint alleged, purchasers were forced to pay more for those products. Occupant safety systems include such things as air bags, seatbelts, steering wheels, safety electronic systems, and parts and components for them.
