Denkov Sues Summer Infant and Toys R Us Over Video Baby Monitor
Wes Denkov filed suit yesterday against Summer Infant Inc. and Toys R Us, alleging that his baby’s room was “completely visible” on a neighbor’s monitor. The monitor was manufacturered by Summer Infant, and the unit was purchased at the Babies R Us division of Toys R Us.
The lawsuit was filed in the Circuit Court of Cook, County, Illinois, after a neighbor with the same monitor informed Denkov that his baby’s nursery was visible, and the conversations taking place in that room could be heard.
After the conversation with his neighbor, Denkov tested his own unit. By switching the channel on his receiving unit, Denkov was then able to view and hear his neighbor’s nursery.
The Complaint alleges that when Denkov contacted the manufacturer’s customer service representative about the problem, the representative suggested he purchase the more expensive model because it was more secure. The court document goes on to make allegations that both Summer Infant Inc. and Toys R Us knew the monitors exposed families to “the prying eyes and perhaps ill intentions of neighbors and strangers.” Denkov’s wife reportedly breastfed their baby frequently while in the baby’s nursery.
Denkov is seeking an unspecified amount of damages and an injunction to block Toys R Us and the manufacturer from selling the baby monitors without adequate warnings.
