Swing in the Legal Direction

Crawling to resolution

Consumers of MamaRoo or RockaRoo baby swings may be entitled to compensation, as a class action has been filed following an August recall. After receiving reports of one 10-month-old infant passing away from asphyxiation and another 10-month-old suffering from bruising around the neck, 4moms, the manufacturing company, pushed for the recall.

Take a seat

As fans anticipate the National Football League (NFL) Draft this week, the news of a lawsuit filed by one football fan may further peek their interest. The plaintiff’s claim focuses on the realization that the New York Jets and the New York Giants do not, in fact, host home games in New York, but rather, are based out of East Rutherford, NJ. MetLife Stadium serves as the home field to both teams; however, the location of the stadium contradicts the geography of the teams’ representation.

Specifically, employees have accused the company of failing to provide adequate mental health programs or support for employees that have developed anxiety and depression. Continue reading →
