Boeing Co. was slapped with two more lawsuits this week by relatives of the victims of a Lion Air jet that plunged into the Java Sea with 189 people on board almost a month ago.

One of the lawsuits filed by Kabateck LLP on behalf of Dayinta Dyah Anggana, whose 54-year-old mother, Nurul Dyah Ayu Sitharesmi, was among the victims, alleges the crash was caused by a defective anti-stall system and Boeing’s defective flight manual and operating procedures. The claim for unspecified damages was filed at a court in Cook County, where the airline manufacturer is headquartered, Kabateck said in a statement.
