The mothers of three Black friends who died after apparent carbon monoxide poisoning in Mexico City last month have decided to take legal action against the rental giant, Airbnb.
According to NBC News, the mothers believe that the deaths of Jordan Marshall, 28, Kandace Florence, 28, and Courtez Hall, 33, could have been easily prevented if Airbnb had required their rental units to have working carbon monoxide detectors.
They spoke publicly for the first time in an exclusive interview with the news station. The mothers stated they have been struggling to cope with their children’s deaths.
Atlanta-based attorney L. Chris Stewart told NBC News that the three Americans died from carbon monoxide poisoning caused by a malfunctioning water heater.
While the lawsuit reportedly has not been filed yet, Stewart, who is representing the mothers, plans to compel Airbnb to mandate working carbon monoxide detectors in all of its properties around the world.
