Diacetyl is a compound commonly used in the production of countless food items for the purpose of adding a buttery taste to the product. It has been shown that continuous exposure to Diacetyl can lead to developing a severe lung disease known as Constrictive Bronchiolitis, or "Popcorn Lung." People at risk include those who work in factories where Diacetyl is able to become airborne and inhaled. If you have worked with Diacetyl over a period of years and have developed lung problems, you should consult with an experienced Diacetyl lawyer who can help you obtain proper medical care, and determine whether you have a case.
Diacetyl is currently a "Hot Topic" on LawInfo. Additional detailed information can be found on the Diacetyl Hot Topic page.
