Update: Infantino Baby Carrier Hip Dysplasia Lawsuit Filed in California
A recent lawsuit filed in the Southern District of California alleges that Infantino “Flip” baby carriers are defectively designed in a manner that does not provide adequate support for the infant's hips. "As a result, the Baby Carrier presents a dangerous risk of hip dysplasia, particularly with prolonged use," the complaint states. "From at least 2002, Infantino was aware, or should have been aware, that the Baby Carrier’s design carried a dangerous propensity to cause hip dysplasia in children."
The lawsuit is: M.C., through her guardian ad litem, Plaintiff, vs. BLUE BOX OPCO LLC dba BLUE BOX INFANTINO LLC. Case No. 3:20-cv-00934-WQH-RBB.
