Acrylamide is a cancer-causing chemical that forms in some types of food during the process of cooking at high-temperatures. In 2005, the state of California sued four potato chip manufacturers, alleging they neglected to put warning labels on their products which contained the carcinogen. On August 1, 2008, it was announced that the lawsuit was settled. The companies agreed to pay $3 million in fines.CNN: Settlement Reached in Potato Chip Lawsuit (August 2, 2008)
