Intro: Family members of Andi Susanto, a Bekasi resident who recently suffered a severe injury caused by an exploding cigarette, are currently seeking an out-of-court settlement against the cigarette producer PT Nojorono Tobacco Indonesia (NTI).
Andi’s sister, Widya Setyowati, said Monday that her family was in the process of negotiation with the cigarette firm to cover all his medical costs.
“My mother informed me that we have agreed not to take the case to court,” Widya said, although the family reported the explosion to Cibitung Police last week.
The cigarette exploded in Andi’s mouth on Thursday when he was riding his motorcycle on an intersection near Adam Talib Hospital, Cibitung, Bekasi.
The cigarette, which was half-burnt was tucked between his lips, right before the explosion. He lost six teeth and received 51 stitches.
