Southfield — The family of Thomas Cooper, the 5-year-old boy who died in a January hyperbaric chamber explosion, is suing the Oxford Center, its owner and several employees as well as the center's nonprofit for more than $100 million for the fire that killed him.

The lawsuit, which was filed in Oakland County Circuit Court, also targets the chamber's manufacturer, Sechrist Industries Inc., which is based in Anaheim, California. The lawsuit seeks explanations from the defendants about why they allegedly allowed the explosion to happen.
