Campy wasn't worried about lawsuits. They were worried they may be thought of as other than perfect. It's the same attitude that caused them to go from the biggest to smallest component manufacturer with in three years. One of the reasons people love Campagnolo is because of the "we're the best" attitude. It's hurt them before and it'll hurt them again, you can bet on it.
