People who worked in agriculture developed Parkinson’s Disease after exposed to Paraquat.
A series of important studies found that commercial agricultural workers, including farm workers, golf course maintenance crews and greenhouse workers, who were certified and trained to use Paraquat, as well as bystanders exposed to spray drift, may have suffered serious injury due to the toxicity of the herbicide.
The makers of Paraquat herbicide REFUSED to include warnings on the label, increasing the risk of injuries from Paraquat exposure for farm workers, golf course maintenance crews, horticulturalists, and others who used or were exposed to the toxic chemical.
Paraquat is often used to control weeds in soybean, corn and other crops, grapes and orchards, pasture and hay fields, and to defoliate cotton. Studies show that workers who mixed, sprayed, or were exposed to the chemical are at higher risk for developing Parkinson’s Disease.
In fact, a 2011 Study by the National Institutes of Health and Parkinson’s Institute surveyed farmers in North Carolina and Iowa and determined these farmers were 2 ½ times more likely to develop Parkinson’s if they were exposed to Paraquat or Rotenone. And, in 2012, a study found that individuals with certain genetics who were exposed to Paraquat were 11 times more likely to develop Parkinson’s Disease.
The network of attorneys at National Coalition have vast experience holding big corporations accountable for concealing the true dangers of consumer products. National Coalition intends to hold the makers of Paraquat accountable for refusing to disclose the risk of Parkinson’s Disease on its label and putting profit before people. Across all areas of practice, they have successfully obtained billions of dollars in verdicts and settlements on behalf of their attorneys’ clients.
