Croc Catastrophe!

July 8th, 2008

This is scary! A three-year-old girl got her foot stuck in an escalator while wearing the popular croc shoes. EEK! According to the report, it took 15 minutes to remove the child’s right foot from the escalator. She had three broken toes and had to have surgery that involved doctors putting pins in her foot and cleaning bones to remove skin contaminated with escalator grease.

Now the mother of the child is sueing crocs for millions! She says the Croc company knew their product could cause harm and did nothing to warn people. AND!! This isn’t the first time this has happened! the company is in the midst of another lawsuit by the family of another three-year-old who was involved in an escalator entrapment at JFK Airport in New York, and this past May Consumer Reports issued a warning about wearing the rubber shoes on escalators.

Looks like this mother is gonna win her case! Lol…for more info on this check out this article on People.com.
