LOS ANGELES NAIL SALON PEDICURES & MANICURES CAN CAUSE INFECTIONS, BURNS & SCARS. SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA INURY LAWYERS CAN HELP.
A San Diego paper is reporting about the rising risk of visiting California nail salons and spas. Victims report salon hand, foot, finger, leg and toe injuries including amputation, chemical burns, scars, deformity, and severe infection. Manicures and pedicures can put you at risk if the nail spa is not adhering to the health codes assigned by the state. Per the report, salon and spa violations are rampant and many go without being cited. Customers have little way of knowing if their salon has received violations or is complying with the law. If you or a loved one has received an injury from a Southern California manicure or pedicure you may be entitled to compensation. Contact one of our lawyers at no cost by calling 1-800-ALAWPRO now.
According to data from the California Department of Consumer Affairs' Board of Barbering & Cosmetology, California salons have been cited for more than 220,000 violations from 2003-2008. Nearly 2,500 manicurists and more than 1,900 cosmetologists were fined, along with hundreds of barbers and estheticians. In California, only 22 inspectors are responsible for inspecting almost 45,000 nail salons. In one San Diego lawsuit, a woman received a $750,000 settlement from a salon after an acrylic nail application left her with infection and subsequent pinkie amputation.
