Q: Can I sue the OFF bug repellant company for losing my voice from using their product?
It’s been 3 months that I’ve lost my voice due to spraying OFF bug repellant. I'm having a hard time breathing, speaking, and people can't understand me. I can't have a conversation with no one. I lost a chance of a job due to my voice. Can I sue them? Very frustrated.
A: A consultation with an experienced attorney could help you answer that question. An attorney would likely want to see medical records that could possibly support the position of losing your voice due to use of the product. The attorney could have questions about the level of your exposure, the manner in which you used the product, your prior medical history, among other issues. Such a consultation could enable you to learn the time frames, deadlines, and statutes of limitations in your jurisdiction within which you would need to take action to preserve your legal rights.
