First I've heard of it but just my twopence worth - Jim McAuslan, the Balpa general secretary, is generally careful and considered in what he says so personally having read his comments I'd be pretty sure the incident and injury did happen. However reading what is in the quotes I don't think he mentions it was BA, so one option was perhaps it was another UK airline.
Knowing how internal comms can work, or not, I suspect that if someone in the BA media department/press relations office was asked for an instant comment on the incident they quite possibly and quite genuinely had no knowledge of the laser attack.
