Dangerous chemicals have been used in flavorings at the Unilever (Lipton) plant in Independence. Here are some things you should know:
• These dangerous flavoring chemicals (which may be known by such names as diacetyl; 2,3-pentanedione; or 2,3-hexanedione) attack the human lungs and often cause a disease commonly known as "popcorn lung."
• Persons exposed to these dangerous flavoring chemicals in their workplaces have received hundreds of millions of dollars in compensation.
• Persons receiving their compensation have done so without endangering their employment anywhere.
• You do not have to file a worker’s compensation claim against Unilever (Lipton). Instead, claims are made against the companies that made and sold the harmful chemicals. Many of these are large international companies headquartered in places like New York and New Jersey.
