The manufacturers of paraquat are facing multiple potential liabilities when a family near a farm or farmworkers develop Parkinson’s disease. The possible liabilities include:
• Failure to warn of the risk of Parkinson’s disease from exposure
• Failure to research the link between paraquat and Parkinson’s disease
• Failure to provide adequate instructions and prevention against the side effects of paraquat exposure
• Failure to accurately label and warn of the risks from paraquat use, including improper marketing failing to note the dangers and over-promoting the safety of paraquat
