Millions of action against Amazon! A few parents from Los Angeles coincide with the shipping giant for the death of her three -year -old son. The twin sons of Anthony Bernabes and Jasmine Coleman came to the garden because of a defective children’s lock and fell into the swimming pool. Only one of the two toddlers survived.
Now the parents want at least two million dollars to compensate for accusing Amazon of negligent “a defect and dangerous” castle – and still offering it online.
Product description: “You don’t have to worry”
Coleman bought the children’s lock for glass sliding doors from the manufacturer “Okefan” on the Amazon website for $ 16. According to the request, she trusted “on the security functions mentioned by Amazon”. Especially on the sentences: “The Kid Stopper can refer to pulling and pressing children and babies” and “with the sliding door fuse you don’t have to worry if your little ones romp through the house while doing your homework.”
Twins cracked lock with armchair
When their twins Liam and Kai took an afternoon nap in April 2023, the parents had also set themselves after a “very strenuous morning”. The patio door was “locked by locking children”. Neither father nor mother heard when the children woke up and went down. Security cameras in the house showed how the two boys pushed an armchair against the patio-door-desupon, the child safety slot suddenly opened. The security camera on the terrace then took hold of how the two toddlers ran to the swimming pool and disappeared in the water.
Only twins survived
A few minutes later, mother Jasmine panicked to the pool and pulled the lifeless quay out of the water. At the same time, her husband Anthony jumped into the pool and took Liam’s lifeless body from the pelvic floor. Both parents made attempts to rewrite lungs before the two boys were brought to the first aid with the ambulance. Only Liam survived, all the help came too late for Kai.
In their court case, the parents claim that Amazon and manufacturer Okefan “had not tested the product sufficiently”. And in particular, Amazon is accused of not having removed “defective and dangerous child preparation”, “although there were repeated defects of buyers”.
Amazon lawyers deny in court that their company has acted negligently and can be liable: “The item sold has filled all required industrial forms.” And: “If the child was really defective and dangerous, Amazon couldn’t know.”
