A Colorado jury agreed with Wayne Watson that a popcorn manufacturer should have had warning labels that the bag's fumes were dangerous to inhale. Defence lawyers argued that Mr Watson's problems stemmed from years of working with carpet-cleaning chemicals. He developed respiratory problems in 2007, after regularly eating popcorn. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-19657878 From BBC News
