Maker Of Crocs Sued Over Atlanta Escalator Accident

The parents of a boy who was injured on an escalator at Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport are suing Colorado-based Crocs.  

Clark Meyer, the boy's father, filed suit in federal court against the maker of the popular shoe.  He is asking for two-million dollars for the injuries suffered by his son when the boy's Crocs allegedly got caught in an airport escalator. 

 Photos in the court filing show injuries to the boy's first three toes on his right foot and a mangled pair of gray Crocs.  

The suit alleges the company knew of the danger to children wearing the shoes in 2005.  That was the year the company began marketing the popular shoes to children.
