A:
You should contact a Michigan attorney if this is something on which you are contemplating a claim. Your post remains open for a week and it looks like two-plus years have already elapsed. You should act without further delay to discuss state statutes of limitations for the applicable legal theories you would pursue. Your situation could present some challenges from the standpoint of causality, as you mention pre-existing lung disease and whatever possible impact the 20 meds might have had, if any. If you have the container for the product that contained the diatomaceous earth, or an MSDS (material safety data sheet) for it, that could be helpful to an attorney. Good luck
