2025年1月31日去世的5岁的Thomas Cooper的父母,在密歇根州特洛伊一家诊所高压氧气室发生火灾,他们因疏忽和企业贪婪而向该设施、其工作人员和该室制造商提出1亿美元的诉讼。
The parents of 5-year-old Thomas Cooper, who died in a January 31, 2025, fire inside a hyperbaric oxygen chamber at a Troy, Michigan, clinic, have filed a $100 million lawsuit blaming the facility, its staff, and the chamber manufacturer for negligence and corporate greed.
该诉讼称,该室缺乏安全的紧急出口,由于其 100% 氧气环境而存在已知的火灾风险,并且尽管受到 FDA 的限制,但仍被用于治疗多动症和睡眠呼吸暂停等未经批准的疾病。
The suit alleges the chamber lacked safe emergency egress, posed a known fire risk due to its 100% oxygen environment, and was used for unapproved conditions like ADHD and sleep apnea despite FDA restrictions.
家属声称他们没有受到危险警告,工作人员没有遵守安全规程,静电很可能引发火灾。
