Memorandum:
Plaintiffs commenced this action seeking damages for injuries allegedly sustained by Madonna L. Sherk (plaintiff) when the interior door handle of a vehicle manufactured by DaimlerChrysler Corporation (defendant) unexpectedly broke causing plaintiff to fall to the ground. Plaintiffs timely served a summons with notice upon defendant, but the notice failed to state a sum of money for which judgment may be taken in the event of a default, as required by CPLR 305 (b). We agree with plaintiffs, however, that "the absence of a monetary amount in a notice served with a summons is a correctable irregularity" ( Premo v Cornell, 71 AD2d 223, 224; see Merwitz v Dental Care Servs., 155 AD2d 748, 750; see generally Kolnacki v State of New York, 28 AD3d 1176, lv granted 30 AD3d 1116), "and not a jurisdictional defect" ( Merwitz, 155 AD2d at 750).
