A 5-year-old died in a Michigan clinic fire inside a hyperbaric chamber; parents sue, blaming negligence and unsafe use.
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.
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.
The family claims they were not warned of dangers, and that staff failed to follow safety protocols, with static electricity likely sparking the fire.
Four clinic employees, including the CEO, face criminal charges for second-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter.
The FDA has approved hyperbaric therapy for only 13 medical conditions, not the ones treated at the clinic.
Defendants have not commented.
