A woman is suing a Burnaby business for treatments she got at its Coquitlam spa, which she claims left her with injuries, including third-degree burns to her buttocks.
The treatments included cryotherapy chamber and infrared room treatments, as well as “other manipulations of the plaintiff’s body,” such as changes of temperature and stimulation, the notice states. Yeh claims she sustained injuries, including third-degree burns to her buttocks, blisters, scarring, psychological injuries, anxiety, chronic pain, chronic fatigue and sleep disruptions, as a result of the negligence and breach of contract of the spa and its employees.
Yeh alleges the spa breached its duty of care in multiple ways, including failing to provide proper or adequate treatment, failing to avoid injuries, failing to explain the risks, benefits and alternatives to the procedures, performing treatments when the spa and its employees lack the appropriate skills and training and failing to use appropriate machinery, equipment, chemicals or tools.
