E-commerce site Etsy sued by mom whose son was strangled by teething necklace.
It's been a little over two-and-a-half years since her only child died, but the pain is still raw for Danielle Morin as her voice cracks with emotion when she describes her little boy's perpetual smile, how he loved to kick soccer balls and spend weekends at the beach with her in Southern California.
"This dangerous product from Lithuania would never be here in California, or the United States, except for Etsy," Morin's attorney, John Carpenter, told ABC News. "I never actually clicked on these terms and conditions. And that's the thing, a lot of children are receiving gifts. It scares me for other parents," Morin said."This is kind of a warning to parents to just make sure that they read all the terms and conditions and know that they need to really look into the product."
Carpenter said it is disingenuous for Etsy to say it takes no responsibility for products sold on its site by third-party sellers. An investigation of Deacon's death by the Fontana Police department determined that the day care center was licensed to care for a maximum of eight children but at the time Deacon was being choked by his necklace there were about 20 children being cared for at the facility, according to the lawsuit.
