American Suzuki Motor Corporation is pleased that the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida issued a temporary restraining order against a Chinese boat manufacturer, Jiujiang Hison Motor Boat Manufacturing Co, Ltd. (“Hison”), requiring Hison to take its personal watercraft and jet boats with SUZUKI® engines off the market immediately. The temporary restraining order specifically prohibits Hison from manufacturing, importing, selling, distributing, advertising or promoting personal watercraft and jet boats with SUZUKI® engines in the U.S.

Not only is Hison unlicensed to use SUZUKI® engines on those products, the suitability of SUZUKI® engines in personal watercraft and jet boats has not been tested by Suzuki. Consumers are notified that the infringing engines mounted in Hison’s personal watercraft and jet boats are not warranted by Suzuki.
