Becareful What You Breathe

From 1995-2000 I worked the night shift at Giant Food.When the weather becme warm someone from the office would wait until all the customers left the store- then he would walk up and down the sisle and spray CB-38 --CB-3 was an insecticide that was used to keep down the warm weather insects.

The employee would not only spray the air- but food products would be sprayed, cooking areas, food prep areas.

According to directions- these areas were to be rinsed off prior to use.They were not.

The most toxic ingredient in CB-38 was 1,1,1, trichloroethane.
This chemical could be absorbed through skin, breath and mouth.
During the years I worked the night I had frequent attacks of shortness of breath-- the doctors blames it on asthma-but I knew better.

Other employees complained- yet nothing happend.
I conyacted The City Paper, local news, Katie Couric , lawyers- no one had any interest.

I know of two employees who have died from lung related problems,others have had csncer, I am currently suffering from pulmonary fibrosis-I just started oxygen therapy.

I would like to know how many customers have suffered any side effects
If you need more info look up 1,1,1, trichloroethane.

If you know of anyone who worked for Giant or shopped and developed cancer questiion what Giants they may have shopped at- if its a Bethesda Store there might be something to look into.

But remember other GIANTS WERE ALSO INVOLVED.
