A jury awarded Roland Esparza $25 million after finding Conagra liable for failing to warn about diacetyl in its Pam spray, which he claims caused his "popcorn lung."
A Los Angeles jury awarded Roland Esparza $25 million after finding Conagra liable for failing to warn about diacetyl in its Pam cooking spray, which he used for decades and which he claims caused his severe lung disease, bronchiolitis obliterans.
The verdict marks the first time a cooking spray maker has been held responsible for the condition, known as "popcorn lung," despite Conagra removing diacetyl in 2009.
The company plans to appeal and disputes the ruling.
Esparza, who may need a lung transplant, hopes the award brings justice, while health advocates warn diacetyl and similar chemicals remain a risk in some e-cigarettes.
