Louisville Mercury Poisoning Lawyers
There are a number of everyday products that contain certain chemicals that could potentially be hazardous to your health. One common chemical that can be found in light bulbs, thermometers, and others is mercury. Although mercury is not dangerous when it is being used in these types of products, it can be hazardous when light bulbs or thermometers break and the chemical is inhaled or ingested.
Mercury can cause devastating health consequences and may even be lethal. When property owners do not properly clean broken light bulbs or thermometers, or do not replace items with unsafe amounts of mercury, they are putting others at risk of dangerous illness.
