Crocs cited in lawsuit over girl’s injuries at airport
August 1, 2008
A Louisville, Ky., mother is blaming the manufacturer of the popular Crocs shoes for injuries her 3-year-old daughter suffered when her foot was trapped in an escalator at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta.
According to the suit filed Tuesday in federal court in Kentucky, Crocs knew its shoes were dangerous for children but the Colorado-based company continued to market them in colors and styles attractive to prospective young Crocs wearers.
The mother, Alison Cox Pregliasco, said her daughter’s foot was caught in the escalator and permanently injured on June 4. Once the shoe was shredded, the escalator ripped the skin off the child’s big toe and broke that toe and two others, according attorney Andrew Laskin.
“We’re asking for punitive damages,” Laskin said. “Each time this happened to a child, they [Crocs] got out there and blamed everybody else. It’s not the airport’s fault. It’s not the escalator’s fault.”
He said the child was not misbehaving when she was hurt.
The mother is asking for $4 million for her daughter, who was only identified by the initials A.P.
Telephone calls to Crocs seeking comment were not returned.
