The lawsuit in Florida is probably one of many Firestone will face.
Meanwhile the mystery still remains in the recall of millions of Firestone

What causes the tires to lose their tread...sometimes at high speed? Some former Firestone workers say they may have some answers. Lee Cowan has more.

(( In Des Moines -- the police are standing in line -- waiting to get
Firestone tires replaced on their fleet of Ford Explorers -- for fear
they too may become the victim of a high speed blowout.
It comes as more former Firestone employes are coming forward to
testify the company has a serious quality control problem.
Firestone claims the workers are bitter -- trying to get revenge on a
company they left during a labor strike.
But now, lawyers for a class action lawsuit...have found another
former worker -- A tire expert once friendly to Firestone, who now says it's time to fess up.
MAX NONNAMAKER, TIRE EXPERT
There is a design defect that has been built into these tires.
Max Nonnamaker says the problem is Firestone's use of an old compound
that doesn't form a chemical bond to hold the tread to the rest of the tire -- a problem he says, the company has known about for years.
That is adding fuel to the increasing number of calls for both Ford
and Firestone to expand the tire recall. Several State Attorney Generals
are now looking into how the recall is being handled, and so is
Congress, with hearings expected sometime next month."
Firestone is expected to be called to testify at those hearings --
launched a pre-emptive strike, with another claim that it is doing all
it can.
JOHN LAMPE, EXECUTIVE VP, BRIDGESTONE/FIRESTONE INC.:
But for the growing number of people who claim their accidents were
the result of tires not part of the recall .... that is simply not enough. Lee Cowan, CBS News, Washington.))
