• Crocs Escalator Lawsuits

In recent years, Crocs have become an increasingly popular brand of footwear among adults and children, alike. The clogs, which are made a foam resin called Croslite and are notable for their ventilation holes, have gained favor with many adults because they are comfortable; however, among young children especially, they are considered fashionable and even trendy. Unfortunately, a number of children have suffered moderate to serious foot injuries due to their Crocs getting caught in escalator mechanisms. At Proner & Proner, our personal injury attorneys handle Crocs escalator lawsuits on behalf of Manhattan and other New York residents, helping them pursue the compensation to which they are entitled.

Crocs and Kids

Depending on the style, Crocs can come in as many as 20 vibrant colors, making them particularly appealing to young children. Crocs, Inc., increased the brand’s allure to children when the corporation purchased Jibbitz, a company that manufactures decorative attachments specifically made to fit in the ventilation holes of Crocs, in 2005. Beginning in 2006, reports that children’s feet were being injured when their foam clogs were getting trapped in escalator mechanisms began to circulate. As the footwear became more popular among children as young as two years old, the number of accidents increased accordingly.

Between February 2008 and July 2009, at least eleven lawsuits were filed against Crocs, Inc., by parents on behalf of their injured children. While Crocs, Inc., was quick to insist that its product was safe, the company was also eager to settle these cases out of court to protect its financial interests. The company agreed to include escalator safety advisements with their products; however, escalator accidents involving Crocs and other soft-sided footwear continue to occur.

Crocs and Product Liability Law

Under the doctrine of product liability, consumers are afforded certain protections against defective products; depending on the nature of the defect, any or all parties involved in the design, manufacture, or marketing of a product may be held liable for injuries that occur as a result of that defect.
