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?

If a parent leaves the regular door open a little and
the little tyke opens the door and crawls/toddles out,
is the door manufacturer and/or carpenter going to be
responsible?

TDD



The responsibility of the parent trumps everything else.


Thats certainly the rational common sense view. However there are many
thousands of lawyers trolling for possibilities to "help" us...
