Family Sues Salon over Death After A Pedicure

FORT WORTH, Texas - Kimberly Kay Jackson loved getting pedicures each month, especially with bright pink nail polish, although as a paraplegic she couldn't’t feel the massages and bubbling water on her feet.

But after her heel was cut with a pumice stone during a July pedicure, she developed an oozing wound that wouldn’t heal despite repeated rounds of antibiotics, relatives said. The 46-year-old died in February of a heart attack triggered by a staph infection, said the family’s attorney, Steven C. Laird.

Now, her three teenage children are suing Angel Nails and its owner for unspecified damages. The lawsuit, filed last week, claims the Fort Worth salon did not follow state regulations for disinfecting the whirlpool and instruments.

“This stupid pedicure killed her,” David Lee Jackson, her ex-husband, said through tears. The couple reconciled in 2001, about five years after their divorce. “She was afraid she was going to lose her foot. ... Who would’ve thought this would take her life?” full story

There are many complaints filed every year against salons that offer nail-care services. The use of drills and other power nail-care tools can badly damage your nails and even worse, such practices can greatly increase the risk and a client's vulnerability to the spread bacterial infections.
