A suit seeking $20,250 in damages has been filed against the Tennessee Aquarium after a 3-year-old slipped in a wading pool outside.
The suit was filed by the child and his mother, Amy Kennedy.
It says last Sept. 24, the child visited the Aquarium with his grandfather.
The child was walking in the pool when he slipped and hit his head on a metal sign. The suit says it pierced his ear and caused a knot on his head. It says he also got a rash and suffered severe pain.
The suit, filed by attorney Marvin Berke, says the Aquarium was negligent in having a sharp-edged sign and in having slippery steps at the pool.
Ms. Kennedy said in a statement, "My main concern is that provisions are made to make the Aquarium a safer place. If these safety provisions are made, the lawsuit will be dropped. I feel that any place where children play should be governed by the same safety rules that child care facilities are."
