Compensation awarded for defective Gas Cannister
A 65-year old Northampton man has been awarded £6,000 after a fireball from a faulty gas canister engulfed him in flames.
Victor Barrell was helping to repair the stable roof at his daughter-in-law’s property when the faulty canister ignited, causing a huge fireball and throwing him 12 feet to the ground. According to reports, Mr Barrel’s brother used a hose pipe to put out the fire.
The incident resulted in permanent scarring to one arm whilst his skin is still sensitive to direct sun light.
After taking legal advice, Mr Barrell initiated a claim against the shop from which he had hired the faulty gas canister.
