After hearing reports that workers are planning to sue Wintek for becoming sick allegedly due to exposure to a poisonous chemical at the company's China subsidiary, Wintek has begun laying the groundwork for its possible defense by saying it has already done everything it can, including getting medical treatment for the affected employees.
The issue involves some 44 workers at Wintek's United Win subsidiary who all claim they fell ill from a chemical, n-hexane, that was being used to clean screens for Apple's iPhone. The complaints date back to early August 2009, and since that time, Wintek says it is no longer using n-hexane.
In an announcement released through the Taiwan Stock Exchange earlier this week, Wintek also said that all affected workers have been examined and treated, and are now recovering and/or returning to work.
