I admit I don't know a whole lot about guns and unloading and all the rest. I realize the gun has a slight design flaw, but it was a known flaw and hardly something they should be held liable for. Couple things: 1) the gun shouldn't have been anywhere near the child in the first place and 2) the babysitter shouldn't have just started unloading the gun if he wasn't sure what he was doing and he definitely shouldn't have been point it in the direction of someone when he did it.
Manufacturer's are responsible to provide a safe product to their consumers. They are not responsible for their consumers using their product in an unsafe way. Is the line a bit blurry? Sure. But it was clearly the action of the babysitter that caused the accident and not a random misfire of the gun.
At least, that's just me.
