Benzene Cases Overview


Representing Benzene-exposed Workers Who are Diagnosed With AML Leukemia or MDS Years Later


In a rush? You can use our Quick Contact Form to tell us the basic information about your case.


Benzene-exposed workers may develop benzene-related diseases include acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Workers and their families need to know that the diagnosis of AML or MDL will probably be made many years after the last exposure to benzene.  This is due to the “latency period”, or lag time, between the work with or around benzene on the job and the development of AML or MDS.

Benzene is among the top 20 chemicals for production volume and can be found in many different industries.  Exposure to benzene is more likely for particular types of workers within certain industries.  Benzene can be a colorless liquid with a sweet odor, or a colorless gas.  It occurs naturally but is also synthetically produced.

Testing Shows High Levels of Benzene Found In Hand Sanitizers

Valisure, a Connecticut-based online pharmacy known for testing products for quality and consistency, has found that some hand sanitizers made widely available during the early months of the coronavirus pandemic in 2020 may contain high levels of benzene.

Benzene is a chemical that has been used in many different industries, but prolonged exposure to the chemical is known to cause acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) as well as myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Oftentimes, due to the so-called “latency period”, the diagnosis of AML or MDS will likely be made many years after the exposure to benzene.

According to this March 2021 article, “Carcinogen Found in Hand Sanitizers That Plugged Covid Gap“, Valisure tested 260 bottles of hand sanitizer from 168 brands. The findings showed nearly 17% of the hand sanitizer samples contained detectable levels of benzene. Additionally, 8% of the samples contained benzene at levels above the approved temporary limit of two parts per million that was set by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for hand sanitizers in 2020.
