“CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Two Institute-area residents on Wednesday sued Bayer CropScience, alleging repeated leaks and other accidents at the company’s sprawling chemical plant made them sick and put them at risk of future illnesses.”
“Sue Davis and Donna Willis seek monetary damages, future medical monitoring and a federal court order barring Bayer from making “inherently unsafe” chemicals “in close proximity” to the community.”
“The suits were filed on their behalf in Kanawha Circuit Court by Charleston lawyer William V. DePaulo, who previously represented a group of residents who sued to prevent Bayer from resuming production of the deadly chemical methyl isocyanate, or MIC, at the Institute facility.”
