Greek State Sued Over Defective Grenades Manufactured in Egypt
What happened
A former Greek soldier is suing the Greek state for compensation after being seriously injured in February 2024 while using a grenade during a firing range exercise. The grenade was part of a batch of 73 manufactured in Egypt in 2008 and received by the National Guard in 2009. The original contract stipulated a 10-year shelf life, meaning the equipment should have been withdrawn or destroyed by 2018.

Why it matters
The lawsuit centers on product liability and the failure to withdraw equipment past its stated shelf life. The administrative court in Attica heard arguments on the case, which is currently pending a decision. The incident highlights potential risks in the military supply chain for both Greece and Egypt.
