Despite a nationwide recall of the popular Bumbo baby seat, serious injures continue to mount due to inherent safety and design issues, says attorney Liz Cunningham of Dallas-based Rose•Walker. A lawsuit filed this week by Rose•Walker charges that Bumbo and Toys R Us failed to adequately address safety issues raised by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission in 2007 by rushing the product back to store shelves. The lawsuit was filed on behalf of a Texas family whose 9-month-old son fractured his skull in a fall from a Bumbo seat that was purchased after the recall. "Bumbo and Toys R Us have failed to take these safety concerns seriously," says Cunningham. "These dangers have been known for years, and they have chosen not to make basic design modifications, such as installing a simple seat belt."
