Class Action Lawsuit Alleges Mockingbird Stroller Frame Can Cause Infants to Fall
Baby Generation Inc. is facing a class action lawsuit alleging that its strollers are defective and pose a serious risk to infants.
Lead Plaintiffs Fjona Dajlani and Allision Egan filed the complaint on May 4, 2023, claiming that Baby Generation’s “Mockingbird” branded single-to-double strollers and single strollers are defective and that the strollers “do not meet minimum standards of operating” or have the necessary level of safety because of the unstable frame that causes the strollers to crack and children to fall from the strollers.
Plaintiffs further contend that Baby Generation, instead of providing a refund to customers, only offers a frame reinforcement kit through a recall which does not prevent the main components of the stroller from continuing to crack, degrade or cause injury to children.
Additionally, they allege that Baby Generation fraudulently represented the strollers are safe when they could cause severe injury to a child or newborn.
The lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York under case number 1:23-CV-3394.
