They also want Mercedes to pay for other owners to have the logo removed from their cars. Roughly six weeks later, Bath, a Chatsworth, California resident, received similar burns allegedly from the logo design while wearing a sleeveless top. After parking her Mercedes-AMG vehicle in Los Angeles, Bath returned to the vehicle and entered the driver's seat, the suit said. In the following days, a mark in the shape of the AMG logo "darkened and became visible on her skin, consistent with a thermal contact burn," the lawsuit said.
