$1.5 Million Settlement Reached in HALO BassiNest Flex Litigation

Lee Segui attorneys have reached a proposed settlement with HALO Innovations, Inc. in a class

action lawsuit involving certain HALO BassiNest Flex baby bassinets.

The lawsuit, Marble et al. v. HALO Innovations, Inc., Case No. 1:23-cv-11048-JLGC, along with

the related action Bender v. HALO Innovations, Inc., Case No. 1:24-cv-04371-JLGC, alleged thatthe bassinets were defectively designed in a way that could cause the sleep surface to tilt while

infants were at rest. The complaints alleged that this tilt created a safety risk and that purchasers

were not adequately informed of the issue.

HALO denied the allegations. The settlement resolves the claims without any admission of

liability.

Under the terms of the proposed agreement, HALO will create a $1.5 million Settlement Fund.

The fund is intended to cover notice and administrative costs, cash payments to eligible

settlement class members, and an cy pres award to Safe Kids Worldwide, a nonprofit organization

dedicated to reducing preventable injuries to children and building sustainable systems to protect

families.

Harper Segui, Erin Ruben, and Thomas Pacheco were part of the Lee Segui team involved in

negotiating the resolution. The case required coordinated investigation, review of design

materials, and careful evaluation of how the product was marketed and used.

Product safety cases involving infant goods carry particular weight. Parents rely on

representations about safety when choosing products for their children. When questions arise, the

focus must remain on the facts, the design, and the information provided to consumers.

The proposed settlement is subject to court approval. If approved, it will provide a structured

process for eligible consumers to submit claims and receive compensation from the fund.

As with all class settlements, the court will evaluate whether the proposed resolution is fair,

reasonable, and adequate before granting final approval.
