Man Sues HP Over Exploding Computer
Little Rock (AR) - An Arkansas man’s Compaq Presario PC exploded in his home, causing his daughter to face major injuries, according to a recently filed lawsuit.
Keith Price says he bought the computer from Wal-Mart and did not notice any problems immediately after the purchase. However, one day he was at home when it suddenly caught on fire, setting his entire house ablaze.
Price claims his daughter had to jump out of a second story window to get away from the flames. She sustained "burns and physical injuries," according to the lawsuit.
He says HP is at fault because of its negligence, and is also accusing the company of causing "extreme mental anguish." Price is seeking unspecified monetary damages.
