Despite the Special Act on Remedy for Damage caused by Humidifer Disinfectants, many victims are still unable to get redress for their damages due to difficulties in proving causation. In order to examine the problems in humidifier disinfectant redress that have emerged since the Special Act and to seek solutions, we conducted text-mining on the news from August 2017 to November 2023. When examining the main news issues in chronological order, the years 2017 to 2020 were primarily characterized by criticisms regarding the effectiveness of damage redress after the enactment of the Special Act, and the subsequent process of resolution through legislative amendments. Meanwhile, the years 2022 to 2023 were highlighted by the failure of the mediation committee for humidifier disinfectant damages redress, emerging as the primary issue during this period. As a result of the news topic modeling, the following topic structure was identified: the criticism of narrow damage redress, limitations of collective damage redress, efforts to expand the scope of damage redress, and causation problems in civil and criminal suits. Drawing on the above findings, we recommend that offending companies and governments acknowledge their responsibility and expand their respective shares of damage redress to narrow the gaps in compensation; expedite epidemiological proof and apply flexible criteria for recognizing health damages; and focus on substantive damages rather than strict causation proof in litigation.
