- Experts and an esthetician have warned that the combination of salts and essential oils in the recipe could irritate the skin, especially for individuals with diabetes or sensitive conditions.
- Patrick demands $75,000 for medical expenses and pain plus $10 million in punitive damages to address alleged reckless endangerment and deter future similar conduct.
- The dispute remains unresolved as Patrick expresses willingness to settle if compensated financially, while Meghan’s legal team denies any legal basis for the claims and liability.
