'Popcorn Lung' Plaintiffs: High Court Must Hear Case Due To 'National Importance'

WASHINGTON, D.C. - The plaintiffs who want the U.S. Supreme Court to hear their personal injury lawsuit for what is called "popcorn lung" against the makers of artificial butter flavoring used in microwave popcorn on Oct. 1 filed a brief contending that the high court should hear the case to resolve circuit court splits concerning the power of a bankruptcy trustee, and because the case "presents issues of national importance" (Diacetyl Plaintiffs v. Aaroma Holdings LLC, No. 14-71, U.S. Sup.; See 9/16/14, Page 4).
