No, No Puede!

Velasquez v. Centrome, No. B247080 (D2d8 Jan. 30, 2015) 

This is a toxic tort case. Plaintiff claims that workplace exposure to diacetyl—a chemical that smells like butterscotch or cheap California chardonnay—caused him severe lung injuries. The main issue in dispute is whether plaintiff is entitled to recover damages for the cost of a future lung transplant.
