Wes Denkov sued Toys R Us, where he bought the "Summer Day and Night Video," as well as Summer Infant Inc., the manufacturer.
The lawsuit, filed in Cook County Circuit Court, said that a neighbour next door to Denkov's town home also had purchased a video monitor made by Summer Infant after he and his wife had twins.
The neighbour "informed (Denkov) that when his unit was on a particular channel, his baby's room was completely visible to the neighbor, and that he could hear all conversations that occurred within the room," the suit said.
The lawsuit said that Denkov's wife often breast-fed their son in the baby's room.Denkov said a customer service representative for the manufacturer suggested he "purchase the more expensive model, which he said was 'more secure,' " the suit said.
The suit alleged Summer Infant Inc. and Toys R Us knew the monitors exposed families to "the prying eyes and perhaps ill intentions of neighbours and strangers." The suit seeks unspecified damages and an injunction to block Toys R Us and the manufacturer from selling the baby monitors without adequate warnings.
