@Angerxiety This sentence is relevant to the article, because the workers were licking the paintbrushes with radium on them, and therefore consuming radium. This was one of the main symptoms they experienced.^[1]

Hello, I think it would be easy to extend this artice. The case was important in establishing workers' rights in the U.S. Things still missing:

The women had problems finding a lawyer who would put the case forward
We need at least one reference that people were put under pressure to not divulge their findings
More reference to undermine the numbers
An employer financing a study is not necessarily fraudulent.
At least in my book, we need to make a clearer distinction between those suing and setlling out of court, in 1928, and those suing and winning i 1938.
