A new chemical warnings law in California has targeted Starbucks and several other coffee-making companies for the use of acrylamide, a carcinogen produced during the coffee roasting process. Starbucks and other companies are expected to react to the new law the same way Coca-Cola and PepsiCo reacted to it, according to Bloomberg Law. These companies will quietly change their chemical formulas to avoid having to put those scary-looking warnings on their products that could potentially scare away their customers.
To find out whether or not you can sue Starbucks for causing cancer or other health problems, consult with a San Francisco product liability attorney at Allegiance Law.
