Man wins $7MILLION in 'Popcorn Lung' lawsuit that blamed supermarket chain for selling chemically hazardous microwave popcorn
A Colorado man has won $7million after suing a Denver supermarket chain and food manufacturer on the grounds that their microwave popcorn gave him a chronic lung condition known as 'popcorn lung'.
Wayne Watson, 59, from Centennial, was diagnosed with respiratory issues in 2007 and was told by doctors that someone who ate as much microwave popcorn as he did might well be in danger of inhaling hazardous vapours from the butter flavouring, diacetyl.
During the trial that began September 4, Mr Watson and his attorney argued that the supermarket that supported his self-confessed three-bag-a-day popcorn habit, should have provided a health warning on the packaging.
'You would get that woof! That little woof when you opened it,' said Watson.
'And you breathe it in.'Watch video and read more here: [ link to www.dailymail.co.uk]
