WOMAN SUES CROCS FOR DAUGHTER’S FOOT INJURY ON ESCALATOR. CALIFORNIA PRODUCT LIABILITY LAWYERS CAN HELP.
A 3 year-old child received permanent injuries on her foot and toes while wearing Crocs on a escalator, and her mother is suing the shoe company for $4 million in damages. According to the suit, filed in Federal Court in Kentucky, the girl suffered lacerations and broken bones as the result of her shoes getting caught in the escalator. This is not the first lawsuit filed against Crocs, a Colorado-based company, on behalf of children who were injured while wearing their products on escalators. If you or a loved one has been injured as the result of a faulty product in California, you need the help of an experienced attorney. Call 1-800-ALAWPRO now to receive your free consultation.
The suit states that the child was behaving properly on an airport escalator when one of her Crocs shoes got caught in the mechanism and was ripped to shreds. The girl’s foot was subsequently trapped and severely injured. She suffered broken toes, including her big toe, and the shredding of the skin on her foot and toes.
The lawsuit alleges that Crocs is responsible for the girl’s injuries, and the company knowingly markets a dangerous product to appeal to young children. In June, Consumer Reports cited safety group warnings about young children wearing Crocs on escalators. Previous lawsuits have been filed against Crocs for similar incidents, and this lawsuit alleges that the blame lies with Crocs, not parents, children or escalator manufacturers as the company has claimed.
