Evenflo Ordered to Pay More Than $10M in Car Seat Lawsuit

A jury has ordered Ohio-based child safety seat maker Evenflo Co. to pay $10.4 million to the parents of a 4-month-old boy who died of head injuries in a car crash. The district court jury awarded $3.7 million in punitive damages to Chad and Jessica Malcolm on Thursday, a day after deciding the Livingston couple should receive $6.7 million in compensatory damages for the death of their son, Tyler. Evenflo, based in Vandalia, Ohio, has lost at least three cases over its car seats, for a total of $19.6 million, according to the couple's attorney. The company said it would appeal the latest verdict to the state Supreme Court. Matt Gouras, Associated Press, Dayton Daily News 7/30/07
