Latex Allergy Claims

A report has shown that about 6% of the population suffer from latex allergies. Where it is evident that latex gloves are primarily composed of latex, there are a great many daily products which contain latex which are not so easily identified.

Did you know some pillows use latex in the foaming, while some household fans use latex on the handles? It’s surprising to learn how there are thousands of products which contain latex. Typically, a person who is allergic to latex will have what is called a TYPE IV reaction. This is usually a rash or slight irritation. However, there are times when a more sever reaction occurs.

Asthma

Swelling of the windpipe
Bleeding of the skin

If you have experienced any of these symptoms and have found that he result was due to a latex allergy, then you may have grounds for a compensation claim.

Who is At Risk of a Type 1 Allergic Reaction?

As the range of latex usage is vast, anyone can have an allergic reaction to latex from the use of everyday products. However, professionals who come in contact with latex everyday include healthcare workers, dentists, salon employees, entertainers, sanitation engineers, food industry professionals, and industrial assembly workers.

The law states that employers must give appropriate disclosure to employees concerning their exposure to latex and that they notify the employees of the potential of ill health of any product. Businesses are required to address the risks of allergic reactions and other effects of their products and take preventive measures (such as offering an alternative to latex) to reduce the risk. It is also the responsibility of the employer to keep latex from contacting and contaminating areas which employees are exposed to regularly.
