Diacetyl Lawsuits - Popcorn Worker's Lung And Bronchiolitis Obliterans

Diacetyl is a chemical used in the manufacturing of microwave popcorn to add a butter flavor. During the popcorn manufacturing process, some workers are exposed to heated diacetyl over long periods of time. A rare lung disease called bronchiolitis obliterans has been found in these workers. The only treatment for bronchiolitis obliterans is a lung transplant.

While diacetyl is also used in other ways, such as the manufacturing of beer and wine, bronchiolitis obliterans caused by diacetyl exposure is often referred to as "Popcorn Worker's Lung" after popcorn workers filed a lawsuit against the manufacturers and the Environmental Protection Agency began an investigation into the chemical in 2005.

Symptoms of bronchiolitis obliterans are similar to asthma and it is sometimes misdiagnosed for this reason. If you have been exposed to diacetyl through the manufacturing of popcorn or any other means and have been diagnosed bronchiolitis obliterans or suffer from lung or breathing problems then contact The Law Offices of Robert Davis today for a free legal case review.
