Toronto woman gets pedicure, infection then has toe amputated

Gaitri Singh has gone for manicures and pedicures at salons for years without any issues.

“Never, never, never,” a problem, said Singh.

But the foot care treatment she received at a Toronto hair and nail salon last November was a costly one: a few weeks afterward, a surgeon had to amputate the large toe on her right foot after an infection and exposed bone couldn’t be successfully treated.

“It was shocking, I wasn’t expecting that,” Singh told Global News in an interview at her apartment, choking back tears as she described what happened after the pedicure.
