As a long-time cyclist, owner of 3 bicycles with disc brakes, 2 of which have quick-release, this suit is the first time I found out it was "a known safety hazard in the industry". I only had to give it a brief moment of thought before figuring out how and why this setup could eject the front wheel given a sufficiently loose QR skewer.
That said, I think the parents should look up the term "lawyer tabs"[1] and realize not everything can be solved with a lawsuit. Unless they expect the tabs to be made even bigger and more infuriating.
