Lawsuit claims chemical spill at Armstrong caused worker's neurological disorder

Today's post is sahred from  inpews.com

Sandra Cooper remembers the exact date her life started to turn upside down: Sept. 25, 2003.
She'd gotten home from her job as an art teacher at Garden Spot High School around 4 p.m. that day. Her husband, Gene, who was on shift work at Armstrong World Industries floor plant, arrived home a short time later.

She heard him coming.

"I could hear the coughing even before he came up the sidewalk," Sandra Cooper said. "I've never heard anybody cough like that."

His eyes were watering, he had a blinding headache and he was screaming in between hacks. There'd been a spill at work, he told his wife. Chemicals. He had to help clean it up.
