If your toddler crawls through it and drowns in an adjacent bog. You
can sue the manufacturer (or installer) of the doggie door for not
warning you.

"More than a hundred children have died or been seriously injured in
the last decade after squeezing through tiny pet doors and getting
into swimming pools or other dangerous places, new research has
found. "

"a Florida lawyer suing a pet door manufacturer for the family of
two-year old Matthew Ranfone."

Say what? Where were the parents when their two-year old was doing
all this?


Yeah, that thought leaps to mind, doesn't it. There are products that can
hurt kids without a parent reasonably foreseeing what might happen. But
installing a pet door (with a kid crawling around the house) and then
ignoring the kid long enough for the child to get outside and drown--that's
on the parent, not the company that failed to warn the parents to pay
attention.
