Post 'Popcorn lung': Wayne Watson wins $7.2m
Quote:
A US man has been awarded $7.2m (£4.4m) in damages after claiming he developed "popcorn lung" from inhaling the artificial butter in microwave popcorn.

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.

How many bags of popcorn did he have to cook to get this condition?

I can only assume he was powdering the popcorn and snorting it.
