After Wayne Watson developed respiratory problems in 2007, he sued the manufacturer and the store that sold it. "I probably look like a fairly healthy guy but I only have, on a good day, about 53% lung capacity," Watson told ABC News.
Wayne Watson's attorney, Ken McClain, told the Associated Press that a federal jury granted the award Wednesday against Gilster-Mary Lee Corp., The Kroger Co. and Dillon Companies Inc. after he developed his respiratory ailments. A claim against flavor developer FONA International Inc. was settled separately, the news service reported.
Watson's attorneys argued the companies should have warned customers inhaling the buttery aroma could put them at risk of lung damage.
Defense attorneys countered Watson's health problems were the result of a career spent working around carpet-cleaning chemicals. Several said they are either planning an appeal, or considering their legal options.
