Microwave Popcorn Alert - Important Medical & Lawsuit Information
MEDICAL ALERT
=============
September 19th, Washington - Major popcorn producers have known for more than a year the secret results of an Environmental Protection Agency study of potential health risks of a chemical in microwave popcorn.
The results of the EPA study still have not been made public.
A chemical identified by scientists at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is the cause of a debilitating and sometimes fatal lung disease.
CDC's National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health
has called the condition bronchiolitis obliterans, or "popcorn lung."
The EPA has refused to make the report available to the general public.
Last week, a health advocacy organization at George washington University revealed that a Colorado physician had notified the Food and Drug Administration in July that she had a patient who had developed "significant lung disease".
