Asif Kamal, founder and CEO of art technology company Artfi, told Decrypt that his company has put Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) maker Yuga Labs on legal notice—after sustaining an eye infection and facial burns last week in Hong Kong at ApeFest.

Kamal’s decision to lawyer up follows reports of ApeFest attendees succumbing to eye injuries, allegedly due to an improper lighting setup at the festival’s venue.

“I don’t want the price of Apes, [the BAYC] community, Yuga Labs, or anyone who has supported this Web3 ecosystem to suffer,” he said. “But neglecting it is something that has offended me so much.”

After ApeFest attendees reported severe eye pain, Yuga told Decrypt on Monday that it was still investigating the situation and “taking it seriously.” Twitter users have hypothesized that UV-C bulbs, intended for disinfection, were used instead of blacklights in lighting the three-day event.

Yuga Labs did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Decrypt.
