According to American Airlines, the plane was inspected and repaired by workers. The aircraft was put back into service Saturday evening.
The one-year-old boy's mother, Jennifer Zanone, told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram an "entire ceiling panel, including a tank full of oxygen, fell onto the head of her son who was sitting on her lap."
In a statement, American Airlines said their flight attendants "offered to request medical personnel meet the aircraft upon arrival at the gate," but Zanone declined medical attention.
"American's primary concern is for the Zanone family and their young child," the statement continued. "Our customer relations team has spoken with Mrs. Zanone to offer additional support and obtain details of what transpired at Dallas/Fort Worth Saturday. Customers trust us to take care of them and we take that responsibility seriously."
