Former Employee Alleges Unsafe Conditions and Retaliation at Keurig Dr Pepper Plant, Citing Health Issues and FDA Findings

A former employee of a Keurig Dr Pepper plant has publicly accused the company of maintaining unsafe working conditions that she claims led to severe health issues, including a lung infection and pericarditis. The individual, who began working in August 2022, stated she was moved to a specific production line where she soon experienced breathing difficulties. After multiple hospitalizations and medical procedures, doctors initially suspected lung cancer before diagnosing a severe lung infection. She alleges the company retaliated against her after she reported the conditions and harassment, denying her claims. The former employee further stated that the FDA conducted an inspection in 2024 and reportedly confirmed unsanitary surfaces at the facility, supporting her allegations. She expressed her desire to resolve the matter privately but felt compelled to speak out due to the company's alleged lack of response.
