LANCASTER - A minor claims to have suffered a head injury and cut to the leg after a chair broke during a sporting event.
O.B., a minor, by and through parent and natural guardian, Jeffery Bausman, filed a complaint on May 11 in the Court of Common Pleas of Lancaster County against Spook Nook Sports, Inc. and American Seating Company for negligence, strict liability and breach of implied warranty of fitness and mechantability.
According to the complaint, O.B. suffered "superficial lacerations of the right mid-calf to mid-thigh, headaches, hyperpigmented scar, cervical whiplash, cervicogenic headache, concussion and cognitive deficits" after a chair broke while being seated in it at a sporting event. Plantiffs allege that Spooky Nook Sports, Inc. failed to inspect and properly care of seating conditions and allowed hazardous conditions to exist by not removing the chair.
Plantiffs seek $50,000, plus interests and cost, as the court deems appropriate.
