Alternatively, consumer products like propane tanks installed to provide heat to homes or fuel BBQs and even household appliances may be involved in causing a gas explosion. Our gas explosion law firm represents injury victims and the families of those killed in both industrial and residential gas explosions.
Some of the most common causes of gas explosions in include:
- Faulty seals, connectors, valves and seals
- Inadequate warnings or labeling
- Theft of copper wiring or piping
- Installation that violates building or safety codes or standards
- Improper odorization
- Leaky tanks or hoses
Natural gas explosions involving consumer products often result when home appliances malfunction causing the gas to build up to dangerous levels. Sometimes substandard electrical wiring in the device or your home also may contribute to a gas explosion involving a consumer product. When natural gas explosions occur in the home, there are a wide range of parties who may be liable, including the party that installed the appliance, the entity that installed or repaired home wiring, the manufacturer, distributor, or retailer of the appliance, the business that provided the natural gas, or the company that recently repaired the home appliance.
