Little League Baseball, the other defendant, has yet to file its response to the suit but reportedly will join in the effort to have it transferred to Lycoming County. It accuses Savoy of selling “dangerous and defective” bunk beds that “caused significant and permanent injuries” Easton.claiming he “suffered immediate, direct, severe and lasting emotional distress…”He was staying in the same facility as his son and although he did not witness the fall, he said he saw him bleeding and in pain.
Adam Savoy, the firm’s vice president, previously said the company’s standard operating procedure when quoting single beds that have bunking capability includes this alert: In a related action, the Oliversons are seeking a court order that would allow their representative to view the bed and tour the dorm where Easton fell.
