Intel Sued After Contractor Allegedly Loses Sense of Taste, Smell Due to Plant's Toxic Fumes

Just last month, Intel announced plans to spend some $36 billion to expand and modernize operations in Hillsboro, Oregon, partly funded by awards from the Biden Administration's Chips & Science Act.

Just a month later, the Oregon plant is facing some decidedly less positive news.

The Oregonian has reported that Intel is being sued by a contractor who alleges exposure while working at Hillsboro caused him to lose both his sense of taste and smell.
