Girl scarred by popcorn receives 10,000 payoutBy Ray Managh Parent link in cot death MORE than half of cot deaths happen when a baby is sleeping with a parent, a study revealed yesterday. Researchers said this could be linked to the babys parent having been drinking or taking drugs. A team of UK researchers at Bristol and Warwick universities studied all unexpected infant deaths aged from birth to two years old in the south west of England from January 2003 to December 2006. Of the 80 cot deaths analysed, more than half (54 per cent) occurred while co-sleeping. Too hot: The snack which can injure A FOUR-year-old girl, who was struck on the cheek by a piece of popping popcorn, has been awarded 10,000 damages. Barrister Alison McIntyre told the Circuit Civil Court yesterday that little Kerri Rafferty suffered a burn just un- der her right eye. She said Kerri, of Greenfort Lawns, Quarryvale, Clondalkin, Dublin, had been with her mother, Ms Stephanie Rafferty, when the accident happened. A piece of popcorn had popped out of a popcorn oven in Bus Stop News Agents, Ballyfermot, Dublin, in No- vember 2005. Ms McIntyre said Kerri, who is now aged seven, had suffered a small burn which later had become infected and had left a visible scar just under her eye. She had been treated by her local doctor. She said the defendants, Stephen Palmer, trading as Bus Stop News Agents, Ballyfermot, and Macoven M.P., a Spanish automatic popcorn vending machine manufacturer, which had been joined as a third party to the damages claim, had made a settlement offer of 10,100. Circuit Court President, Mr Justice Matthew Deery, approving the offer, said the hot popcorn had caused a small burn injury but it had left a scar. index.html2.html3.html4.html5.html6.html7.html8.html9.html10.html11.html12.html13.html14.html15.html16.html17.html18.html19.html20.html21.html22.html23.html
