Former BYU athletes Reno and Sunny Mahe filed a lawsuit against several companies after their daughter, 3-year-old Elsie, got caught up in mini blind cords at the family home on Nov.
22, 2016.
After being found to have sustained significant brain damage in the accident, Elsie was removed from life support a week later.
Following the trial, a jury awarded the Mahes $25 million, including $24 million in punitive damages.
The lawsuit claimed the blinds companies had failed to install mechanisms that would ensure a child could not be strangled.
