SAN FRANCISCO (Legal Newsline) - A new lawsuit alleges a machine at a San Francisco laundromat shot fire in a customer's face.
Susana Guadalup Chacon Gonzalez filed suit Feb. 25 in San Francisco Superior Court against Coin Landry Pros, Wash Club, RRTI Inc. and Harbor View Holdings, alleging injuries at a Wash Club on Mission Street in 2019.
Gonzalez pressed a start button on a dryer when "without notice or warning, a large explosion, inside and out of the dryer, occurred resulting in fire shooting out of the dryer and into Plaintiff's face, head and upper body," the suit says.
She fell backward after flames reached her eyes, face, nose lips, ears, head neck and upper body, the suit says, resulting in severe personal injuries that included first-degree burns and eye damage.
"Plaintiff immediately experienced horrific and excruciating pain from the fire and burns to her body," the suit says.
Gonzalez is represented by Constantine Tsagaris of Anderlini & McSweeney in San Mateo. The suit seeks unspecified damages.
