Popcorn Lung Disease Attorney in Chicago
Handling Mass Tort and Industrial Accidents and Injury Claims Since 1996
Popcorn lung disease, also known as popcorn workers' lung disease, is a newly-identified form of the rare and life-threatening disease bronchiolitis obliterans. Its cause is very specific — the disease develops when workers inhale the chemical diacetyl, which is an artificial butter flavor used to make many food products, including candy, microwave popcorn and even wine.
Popcorn lung disease usually strikes groups of workers and subsequent lawsuits for injuries are most effectively handled in groups, or by "mass tort" claims.
