QUESTION
What can I do about my dogs death caused by improperly designed crate latch?
Asked on May 15th, 2014 on Animal Law - Florida
More details to this question:
Our dog was able to move the slide that held door closed. Door was about 2 inches from wall. She evidently got partway out but her collar caught on the female part of the latch. She panicked, which is normal, and was strangled to death. Do we have any cause of action against product retailer, wholesaler, manufacturer, or amazon.com that suppled crate to my ebay retailer?
