Years ago, lumber was pressure treated with chromated arsenic – CCA – to protect against pests, mold and fungus. However, when workers who handled the treated lumber were diagnosed with arsenic poisoning, the use of CCA-treated lumber was discontinued. Before being discontinued, CCA-treated lumber was used to build decks, playgrounds and fences, and arsenic from the lumber can leach into ground water and contaminate our drinking supply.
The attorneys of Shrager, Spivey & Sachs are familiar with the health threats associated with CCA-treated lumber, and we will fight to win you and your family the compensation you deserve.
