Paraquat Lawsuit

The manufacturers of Paraquat products knew or should have known that paraquat is toxic and has been linked with Parkinson’s Disease.

The manufacturers failed to warn the public of the potential for their product to cause Parkinson’s symptoms in farmers, agricultural workers, applicators and others who lived on or around farmland and were exposed to Paraquat.

What Is Paraquat, and Why Is It Dangerous?

The chemical herbicide paraquat, or paraquat dichloride, is a toxic herbicide. For decades, it has been used for commercial purposes to prevent weed and grass takeover of crops by farmers throughout the world.

More recently, more than 30 countries banned the herbicide. The United States restricted its use to licensed applicators, but it remains on the market.

In addition, the herbicide is extremely toxic. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), even light exposure to paraquat over time can cause significant damage and numerous adverse health effects including developing Parkinson’s disease.

    What Are Additional Paraquat Pesticide Products?

    Paraquat, a restricted-use herbicide, is a fast-acting weed killer and, as such, is one of the most popular herbicides used on farms and in other large-scale agricultural applications. Gramoxone SL 2.0 Herbicide is the most commonly used herbicide in the United States containing paraquat.

    Some of the other paraquat pesticide products are:

    • Para-SHOT
    • Helmquat
    • Parazone
      Firestorm
    • Ortho-Paraquat
    • Quick-Quat
    • Devour
    • Blanco

    Makers of many of these herbicides are facing lawsuits over the connection between toxic paraquat products and Parkinson’s disease.

    Who Qualifies for a Paraquat Lawsuit?

    In general, those who qualify for a paraquat Parkinson’s disease lawsuit will have medical documentation of their diagnosis. They may also have proof of their exposure to paraquat. However, many plaintiffs worked in related industries or positions without direct documentation of their exposure.

    We help our clients collect additional evidence when we investigate their cases. Some people who may qualify to file a paraquat lawsuit include:

    • Landscapers
    • Pickers
    • Farmers
    • Growers
    • Agricultural workers
    • Licensed applicators
    • Those who bottle or handle paraquat during manufacturing
    • Anyone who works around herbicides and commercial weed killers

    The best way to learn if you have a case against the paraquat manufacturers is to discuss the circumstances of your exposure and Parkinson’s disease diagnosis with our paraquat lawyers. Our free case evaluations allow you to learn more about the process while we assess the strength of your case and explain your options.

    Grounds for a California Paraquat Lawsuit

    The central claims in a paraquat lawsuit are that:

    • Those who made and sold paraquat knew or should have known that paraquat is toxic
    • They knew or should have known the link between paraquat and Parkinson’s disease
    • They failed to warn the public about the Parkinson’s disease risk or take other action to protect users

    The courts consolidated the paraquat Parkinson’s disease lawsuits into multidistrict litigation (MDL) in 2021.

    Based on the latest paraquat lawsuit update, more than 1,150 paraquat lawsuits are pending in multidistrict litigation (MDL) against Syngenta and other paraquat manufacturers as of May 16, 2022, according to the United States Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation.
