I’ve recently been diagnosed with bladder cancer and read that it takes time to develop.

One ’cause’ I read about was ‘carbon black’ used to make inks (including HP’s inkjet ink). I had worked in a test lab for HP inkjet printers which had ventilation problems they monitored (no openable windows either). There were hundreds of printers running in that room all the time.

I initially developed a lung condition (later having an asthma attack), skin irritation and glossitis. Now bladder cancer. I just wonder if there is a class action lawsuit against HP by people exposed to as much ‘carbon black’ as I was?

heres something to think about. I work in a small law firm less than 15 employees total. 3 of the paralegals including me have been diagnosed with cancer. all three of us have/had a laser printer next to our desks. None of us have/had a family history of cancer. I so far am the only of us 3 still alive…….

HP Inkjet printers could be a problem too. I have a small office with an HP 7100 series printer. Every time I am in my office, my eyes burn and I have a deep cough. I had bronchitis last month, and I knew my office was making me sick.

Before this study emerged, I had searched the web for reports of health problems with inkjet printers, but I didn’t find any warnings or anything else.
