South Korea's Samsung has been under pressure by some social and civic groups to take responsibility for the incidents, which were reported until late 2000s and for which a government investigation was conducted in 2007 and 2008.
The investigation concluded there were no problems at Samsung plants.
On Thursday, the company said 22 of its employees who worked at its chip plants had been diagnosed with leukemia or lymphoma, and between 1998 and 2010, 10 of them died of cancer.
