Case Details

In April 2005, Rama Katwaroo used a “healing lamp” he had purchased online from the defunct healinglamp.com website. The self-proclaimed healing lamp was supposed to relieve a foot ailment, but instead caused a severe burn to Katwaroo’s foot that forced part of his foot to be amputated. On a products liability theory, Katwaroo sued the manufacturer, marketers, distributors, and owners of the healing lamp.

Additional Notes

Following trial, a verdict was returned for the Plaintiff against all defendants for the amount of $5,838,790.00.
