Child’s Foot Crushed in Restaurant Window | UK News

A Chelsea restaurant faced a £75,000 fine after a three-year-old’s foot was crushed by a descending window in 2022 — a preventable tragedy that exposed critical safety failures. The child suffered life-altering injuries requiring multiple surgeries, with potential long-term pain and mobility issues looming. Investigators found the restaurant ignored risks of its novel UK-first windows, left the safety mechanism off, and assigned an untrained staff member to operate it — with the key still in place. Vardo Restaurant was ordered to pay £50k plus victim surcharge and legal fees, serving as a chilling warning: safety can’t be an afterthought.
