Los Angeles Whirlpool Foot Spa Injury Attorney

According to recent studies, whirlpool foot baths were rarely cleaned, and were often not cleaned between uses by different paying customers.  Since they were never cleaned with harsh chemicals, and at the most are generally cleaned only with water, these foot whirlpools tested positive for mycobacteria as well as other fast growing bacteria organisms.  These diseases can easily infect other paying customers causing them to suffer serious injuries or even death.  Our Salon Accident Attorneys have helped many clients with their foot spa or whirlpool injuries.

One study indicates that these whirlpool foot baths demonstrated the existence of over one-hundred (100) cases of bacteria or viruses, such as mycobacterium fortuitum, over a period of about six (6) months.  For some of the earlier cases which were exposed to this bacteria in the whirlpool, their injuries were so serious that the general antibiotics which were generally effective were unable to treat certain strains of this evolving and dangerous bacteria.  These skin boils that these customers who used the same whirlpool foot spa used started out looking like small spider bites which eventually grow in size which may ultimately become open wounds and could result in scars or disfigurement.
