“After the defendants opened Thermea Spa, patrons began to suffer immediate adverse health reactions, injuires upon the use of the facilities and immediately reported these issues to the defendants,” the statement of claim reads. The lawsuit names 11 defendants including the spa, two of its managers and the corporation that runs it, along with the Regional Municipality of Durham and unidentified inspectors and maintenance workers.
Other public health inspection records showed issues with the spa’s facilities. An Oct. 5 routine inspection of the Kalla pool found the operator failed to maintain required levels of bromine, a sanitizer used in pools.
