Product liability compensation claims and chromium

A product liability compensation claim may be launched in the event that exposure to a chemical leads to health problems.

One such is chromium, an odourless and tasteless chemical, commonly used in a variety of processes and products because of its high corrosion resistance.

Some processes and products it is commonly used in include stainless steels and chromium allows, paints and pigments, wood preservatives, dyestuffs and a variety of manufactured chemicals.

Consumers may become affected in the event that they are exposed to contaminated products or, indeed, the manufacturing processes that create them.

Most commonly, people develop chromium-related health problems in the event of skin contact with chromium in either fluid or solid form, by breathing in chromium dust, fume or mist or by eating, drinking or smoking in a chromium-contaminated area.

The health problems posed by chromium are multifarious. They may include dermatological problems, chemical burns, eye damage, respiratory difficulties, allergic reactions and, in long term cases, an increased risk of cancer.

Furthermore, people may make a product liability compensation claim for chromium-related health problems if it is found that they have suffered exposure through contamination of groundwater at abandoned industrial sites.
