The family of a Klamath Falls girl who was burned in a fluke fire at Doernbecher Children’s Hospital in Oregon has notified officials of their intent to sue.
The Oregonian reported a letter from a lawyer says hospital staff improperly recommended using olive oil to remove adhesive from her skin. The letter also questioned making alcohol-based sanitizer available to children.
Irleland Lane suffered burns in February when static electricity ignited sanitizer fumes and a T-shirt saturated with olive oil.
Officials at Oregon Health & Science University Hospital, which operates Doernbecher, have said the fire was not due to safety problems. They declined to comment on the lawyer’s letter.
