‘Death trap’: Parents of toddler injured in Clay County boating incident file lawsuit against boat manufacturer, store ❤️‍🩹 Attorneys representing the parents of a toddler who was injured in a boating incident in Clay County held a news conference Thursday to discuss a lawsuit against the boat manufacturer and the Jacksonville-based store that sold the boat.   Last November, attorneys representing the parents of an 18-month-old girl, who was severely injured in a boating incident in August 2024, filed a lawsuit against Bombardier Recreational Products and Jacksonville Powersports, claiming the manufacturer and the store were negligent in the manufacturing and selling of a “defective” personal watercraft.   On Aug. 25, Grullon and Feliciano were out in the water with their daughter Vianca, and while approaching the boat ramp at Black Creek Marina in Green Cove Springs, the Sea-Doo Switch “suddenly and without warning flipped upside down,” according to the lawsuit.   Here's what the lawsuit says about the accident.
