Gas leaks can be extremely dangerous. A fire or explosion caused by leaking natural gas can lead to serious injuries and death. Burns from gas fires can be devastatingly painful and have long-term consequences. Fires from leaks can spread quickly igniting nearby buildings, homes and cars, thus increasing the damage and likelihood of injury. Products such as heaters and furnaces which defectively leak gas are a deadly and dangerous menace. To learn more about bad products and burn injuries, please visit our website at www.alawpro.com.

A gas leak from a furnace ignited causing an explosion in a Long Beach apartment building. Building walls were damaged and windows were blown out by the blast. Miraculously it appears no one was injured. Fire officials speculate that a leak in forced-air heating furnace slowly collected gas which ultimately blew up. A PG&E gas leak in the Sacramento area recently demolished a home and left one dead and more injured with serious burns.
