Date: 11 January 1996

In a broadcast last May, "Dateline" reported on lawsuits brought by the parents of infants who died in a combination cradle and baby swing made by a leading manufacturer of baby products, Graco Children Products Inc. Graco is now seeking to obtain outtakes of "Dateline's" interviews with the parents and their attorneys, which the company says may be helpful to its defense against the parents' charge that defects in the cradle caused the babies' death.
