Paraquat litigation.
The Smith Law Firm is at the forefront of this litigation and is committed to removing this deadly herbicide in the United States.
First introduced in 1962, Paraquat is known to be a toxic weed and grass killer, which is lethal even at very low doses. Its toxicity has led countries across the world to either ban it or phase out its use. However, use of the product in the United States has actually increased, with a U.S. Geological Survey indicating a doubling from 2013 to 2017, when estimated use of paraquat reached 10 million pounds annually.
Studies show that exposure to Paraquat has been linked to the development of Parkinson’s disease, a progressive neurological disorder that affects movement. According to a 2011 study from The National Institutes of Health, people who were exposed to Paraquat were two and a half times more likely to develop Parkinson’s disease.
