A California man has sued BMW North America and seat maker Corbin claiming that a four-hour ride on his 1993 BMW with a "ridge-like" seat has given him a "a severe case of priapism (a persistent, lasting erection)" that's lasted 20 months and counting, USA Today reported in their weekend edition.
The product liability lawsuit against BMW and well-known aftermarket seat maker Corbin-Pacific (reported first by Courthouse News Service in California) was filed in California Superior Court in San Francisco last Thursday by Henry Wolf and his lawyer, Vernon Bradley of Sausalito, according to USA Today.
The Wolf vs. BMW lawsuit alleges that Wolf has continued to suffer the erection problem since the September 2010 ride.
The lawsuit for emotional distress says Wolf is "now is unable to engage in sexual activity, which is causing him substantial emotional and mental anguish."
According to the lawsuit, Wolf wants compensation from BMW and Corbin for lost wages, medical expenses, emotional distress and "general damage."
