Philadelphia federal court
PHILADELPHIA - A Laureldale woman sued in the Philadelphia County Court of Common Pleas after she says a hair dryer spontaneously combusted and caused serious burns.
Plaintiff Michele Sauppe-Snyder purchased a Tyche Turbo Jet Ionic 3000 model hair dryer manufactured by defendant Proxima Inc. and distributed by defendant Bell Angelo/KYCE International Inc. in July of 2020 from Amazon. On July 19, she was using the dryer with the included comb-style attachment.
The plaintiff says the dryer suddenly began emitting flames from the nozzle, setting fire to her hair and shirt.
Sauppe-Snyder suffered multiple first- and second-degree burns to the right ear, cheek, face, neck and chest, according to the complaint.

Sixteen people stricken with cancer, including the families of three who died, say emissions from medical products manufacturer B. Braun are to blame for their cancer diagnoses, according to lawsuits filed on their behalf.
The lawsuits were filed on behalf of people who lived, worked, and spent significant time near B. Braun’s Hanover Township, Lehigh County, plant and contracted cancer, according to a news release issued by the Philadelphia law firm Kline & Specter.

PHILADELPHIA – A per curiam panel from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit has affirmed the ruling of a lower federal court, which had thrown out a lawsuit concerning a man’s dispute over the sale of property he says he acquired from his incapacitated wife.
On April 26, Third Circuit judges Kent A. Jordan, Cheryl Ann Krause and Peter J. Phipps
upheld the dismissal in favor of the City of Philadelphia, John W. Herron, Paul Feldman, PNC Bank and Linda Hobkirk, and against plaintiff Victor Walthour.
“In January 2020, Walthour filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, alleging that forged documents led to the ‘illegal’ sale of property that he had ‘won in settlement’ from a personal injury action involving his incapacitated wife,” the Third Circuit said.
A new lawsuit alleges toxic gas emissions from B. Braun Medical's Hanover Township plant are to blame for 16 people's cancer diagnoses and three deaths.
