An Iraq War Veteran from St. Petersburg, Florida, was killed on Sunday, September 11th, when a SCUBA tank exploded inside his home. According to reports, an investigation is being conducted to determine the cause of this potential wrongful death case, including whether the SCUBA tank was defective.
Alerts have been issued in the past warning people about risks of injury and death from tank explosions. There have been incidents where the cracking of the alloy around the fill ring has caused explosions, along with too pure an oxygen mix or overfilling of tanks. SCUBA tanks that are found to be defective upon inspection should not be used and a warranty claim should be filed with the manufacturer.
In a case involving wrongful death due to a defective product, the family of the victim should contact an attorney specializing in personal injury and products liability who can help determine their rights and investigate the case.
