Resort Will Pay a Record $26 Million Settlement After Child Sustained Severe Chlorine Burns in Pool

A Myrtle Beach resort is set to pay $26 million to resolve a federal lawsuit arising from a 2020 incident in which a 3-year-old sustained severe chlorine burns while staying at the Caribbean Resort, according to a press release from the family’s attorneys.

The incident occurred during the Memorial Day weekend in 2020 when the family was vacationing at the resort, managed by Brittain Resorts.

The lawsuit exposed that the chlorine level records submitted to the South Carolina Department of Environmental Control had been falsified over several years.
