Re: Another broken femur due to Excersaucer?

ludwigsmama{at}hotmail.com Nina L DeMarre, et al.

My son's right femur was broken while in home childcare when he was 7 months old. (He's now 9 months old.) The childcare worker claims she does not know what happened and the investigators are looking at the Excersaucer as the cause. I'm not 100% convinced but if this is happening why are these continued to be manufactured and sold? Where can I find more information on this subject? Thanks
