“…the siblings traveled to Mexico City in February 2025 to attend a concert. Shortly after checking into their Airbnb rental, Hugo turned on the hot water to shower, activating a fuel-burning water heater located inside the apartment.
The heater allegedly emitted dangerous levels of carbon monoxide into the unit. Without a functioning carbon monoxide detector, the gas accumulated undetected, ultimately killing both occupants…
The lawsuit claims the company:
- Failed to disclose the presence of a fuel-burning water heater in the listing
- Did not warn guests about the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning
- Allowed the property to be rented without a carbon monoxide alarm
- Misrepresented the safety of listings on its platform”
