Stanley Black & Decker and its subsidiary, Dewalt Industrial Tool, are facing a product liability lawsuit in New Jersey over allegations that a defective saw caused a man’s injuries.
Takeaway: Stanley Black & Decker grabbed headlines last month when the tool manufacturing giant filed a lawsuit against the maker of Stanley insulated cups for allegedly breaching a longstanding trademark agreement. The lawsuit, filed in a Connecticut federal court, accuses the company of disregarding a 1996 agreement that limited the use of the Stanley name to food and drink containers, allegedly leveraging the misuse for viral success.
