The spokesperson said the government would continue to support consumers by delivering appropriate regulation and protections. "But we actually want it to be a breach of the law not to honour those consumer guarantee rights." "The ACCC can act where traders mislead consumers about their consumer guarantee rights," Ms Lowe said. She said under consumer guarantee rights, if a product is faulty, buyers are entitled to either a repair, replacement, or refund.

The Allegheny County Fire Marshal’s Office is investigating multiple possibilities, including the homeowners having “hot water tank issues,” Plum Borough and Allegheny County officials said in a news release. The Los Angeles Police Department is promising a full investigation amid growing questions about the agency’s handling of a fireworks seizure in South Los Angeles that ended with a huge explosion that injured 17 people. Fire officials do not know the cause of the explosion, said Nate Hiner, a spokesperson for the Arlington fire department. “This is certainly a sad, sad day and a sad time, for not just the folks in Plum but all the folks in the community and in this region,” said Allegheny County Executive Rich Fitzgerald. Chief Andy Penn of the Arlington County Police Department declined to say at a news conference on Tuesday that the authorities were “fully confident” that the remains that were found were those of Mr. Yoo. The central glass vestibule acts as the entrance to the building as well as the main living area with 180° view of the stunning landscape and bay made possible by floor to ceiling windows.

Though authorities said they were still investigating whether the marijuana grow could have possibly caused the explosion. As investigators work to learn more about what may have caused the blast, neighbors like Jaden Stewart are trying to help. Southwest Gas says an employee responded to the scene and turned off the gas. "I look out the window and I see a big ball of fire and the house just like this, it was destroyed completely," Rogelio Avalos, who lives nearby, said. Bishop David Zubik hosted a prayer service for the community on Tuesday at Saint John the Baptist Church in Plum.

Firefighters said there was no fire hazard and the gas leak had been secured. LAFD said crews were remaining on the scene to investigate the cause of the explosion. The home has been red tagged and residents of 13 neighboring homes were asked to evacuate.

Before the explosion, Savage said that a barricade situation took place after attempts to make contact with the suspect were unsuccessful. District Court for the Western District of New York, Yoo filed a medical malpractice lawsuit against a hospital in 2018, claiming he was hospitalized against his will in 2015. In 2021, he sued his ex-wife’s divorce attorneys for $300 million, accusing them of fraud, intentional infliction of emotional distress and other offenses. Arlington County Police Chief Andy Penn said human remains were recovered from the scene but have not yet been identified. Allison Van Lare said she felt the explosion nearly 3 miles away in her neighborhood of Shirlington.

Richfield Fire Chief Mike Dobesh said deputies at the scene heard someone yelling for help and got the person out of the house. The person was transported to the hospital and was expected to be discharged Monday afternoon, according to the press release. "We have all of our resources here, including BGE, who runs our gas for the county," said Francis. "We're going to make sure that everything is safe in the neighborhood. We don't know what caused this so that'll be looked into." Fire officials said some siding melted on two neighboring homes, but there was no other damage reported. "We can't confirm if he was in the home or outside of the home. We do know originally, we had no injuries and then someone presented themselves to first responders on scene with injuries," Bureau Chief Travis Francis told 11 News.
