The following companies have recalled home heaters, space heaters, patio heaters, and propane heaters for posing fire hazards and burn injury risks to consumers:

The Lyon Firm has experience filing personal injury and product liability lawsuits following injuries caused by portable heaters, space heaters, heater fans, propane heaters, and patio heaters that are poorly designed, faulty, and defective.

Joe Lyon is dedicated to advocating for the consumer and making American homes safer by holding heater companies accountable for the dangers they pose with defective products.

Due to several new Mr Heater explosion reports, The Lyon Firm is investigating burn injury claims on behalf of plaintiffs nationwide. Space heater injury victims may be able to sue a company and recover costs related to medical expenses and damages related to the accident.

Due to sleek designs and various “safety” features, such as anti-tip-over construction and automatic off switches, many consumers may be lulled into a false sense of security when it comes to portable heaters.

However, even with such mechanisms in place, people can still be in great danger of catastrophic injury, as such features can fail, and are often poorly or negligently designed.

Common injuries associated with space heaters such as Mr Heater models can include:

• Severe burns
• Smoke inhalation
• Lung damage
• Toxic exposure (from burning chemicals)
• Scarring and disfigurement

You may be wondering, “Are Buddy heaters safe indoors?” While they are designed for indoor use, the risks and issues mentioned can create serious dangers for users.

Due to the fact that such fires often happen in small, enclosed spaces, the injuries resulting from such incidents can be severe. Space heaters can set fire to nearby objects such as clothing or blankets. A majority of space heater fire burns involve burns to the hand and extremities.

Space heaters can cause fatalities as well. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) has listed heating equipment as the second-leading cause of fires in the U.S., and the third-leading cause of home fire fatalities. If you were involved in a space heater fire that caused the death of a loved one, you may need to file a wrongful death lawsuit.

At The Lyon Firm, we have extensive experience handling cases involving Mr Buddy Heater deaths and other related incidents.

Victims of space heater fire injuries may be entitled to significant financial coverage for the losses they experience. Such compensation can cover costs like:

• Hospital and medication bills
• Reconstructive surgery
• Ongoing therapy and treatment
• Medical costs not normally covered by insurance
• Property damage
• Lost wages
• Loss of the ability to generate income
• Wrongful death costs, where applicable

While such financial assistance can never fully undo the injuries or losses, they can help put the victim back on the right track toward what they need for their recovery.

The amount recovered depends on many factors, including the severity of the injuries as well as the skill and experience of the lawyer who handles the case. Thus, it’s important to work with an attorney who has proven experience in these types of cases.

Heater burns caused by products such as Mr Heater models can create many hardships and long-term challenges for the victim and their family. These can be complex and require the assistance of a law firm that knows the ins and outs of how to hold the manufacturers responsible.
