WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENTThe parents of a small child, who was engulfed in flames after the hyperbaric chamber in which he was receiving treatment exploded, have launched a monster lawsuit against the care providers.
Thomas Cooper was only five years old on January 31, when he entered The Oxford Centre in Troy, Michigan, in the US, and was placed in the chamber in a bid to ease his sleep apnea and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.

“My fear is that there’s others operating out there in a similar way, endangering American families and Americans every single day.
