A class action settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit against Summer Infant (USA), Inc. and Toys “R” Us, Inc , doing business as Babies “R” Us (“Defendants”) in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois (styled Alissa Jamison and Mandy Brantley v. Summer Infant (USA), Inc. and Toys R Us, Class Action Case No. 09 C 7513) alleging, among other things, that Defendants unlawfully omitted to advise consumers that certain non-digital Summer Infant Video Baby Monitors were unencrypted and therefore, that their broadcast signals were susceptible to being received and viewed on other video monitors, according to the Toys “R” Us, Babies “R” Us & Summer Infant Video Baby Monitor class action settlement notice.
