Vinyl Chloride Exposure Investigation Underway

Kahn Gauthier Swick is investigating instances in which persons have been exposed to the chemical vinyl chloride. Plant workers, PVC (polyvinyl chloride) fabricators, railroad and transportation workers, and beauticians who worked prior to 1974 are most likely to have been exposed; exposure may also come through contaminated drinking water or living near an area where PVC is manufactured, loaded, or unloaded. If you or a loved one might have been exposed to this highly toxic chemical, vinyl chloride, please contact a lawyer at Kahn Gauthier for more information about filing a claim.

Today, thirty years after the industry first learned that vinyl chloride causes cancer, workers are still dying, and many people -including an untold number of beauty shop workers in the 1960s and 1970s- remain unaware that they were heavily exposed for years to the highly hazardous, potentially deadly substance, vinyl chloride. Exposure to vinyl chloride has been linked to many diseases.

The story of poly vinyl chloride (PVC) is a tale of corporate deception in which vinyl chloride industry executives kept workers and government health officials in the dark about the debilitating and sometimes fatal consequences of working with vinyl chloride. It is now apparent that vinyl chloride (PVC) causes certain signature injuries: disintegration of the bones in the fingers, fatal liver and brain cancer, and circulatory impairment.
