Did the old version contain carcinogenic benzene? My brand did, and I had to wait for the class action notice in the mail.
Oh, wow. $10/ea or 3.65M total. I bet they're suitably chastened.
Benzene is bad stuff. It's in jet fuel, and the illness you get from it will make you waste away painfully. In addition to leukemia and cancer, it can get in your bone marrow and severely reduce production of red blood cells.
I work with a bunch of fairly toxic chemicals (work in aircraft maintenance), and I always tell new people "Don't fuck with benzene and don't fuck with chromate. Chromate will give you cancer and give your future kids deformities, benzene will make you die badly."
My father-in-law died of the disease usually caused by chronic benzene exposure, and it took him 5 years to die. I would have eaten a bullet (or taken a TON of morphine) after the first 6 months. Don't fuck with benzene.
fortunately no, that's kinda scary though
or if it did, it's not included in the ingredients lists
