EVIDENCE THAT DOESN’T LIE

THE RISKS

Beginning in the 1960s, paraquat dichloride, commonly known as paraquat, a highly toxic herbicide, was used to prevent weed growth near commercial crops. Paraquat is not only so lethal that one sip can kill you, but exposure to it has been linked to Parkinson’s disease.

Paraquat poisoning can occur through ingestion, inhalation, and skin contact. The U.S. safeguards against accidental toxicity with blue dye, a chemical agent that induces vomiting upon ingestion, and a pungent odor. Unfortunately, paraquat purchased outside of the U.S. may not have these safeguards in place. In addition, people who work or live near spray areas may be accidentally exposed, and paraquat has been linked to serious long-term health conditions like Parkinson’s disease, muscle system atrophy, and progressive supranuclear palsy.

TRANSPARENCY IS KEY

THE COMPLICATIONS

Paraquat affects individuals who live or work near spray areas. Paraquat exposure may result in the following side effects:

Respiratory distress or failure
Confusion
Dehydration
Elevated heart rate
Coma
Digestive distress
Muscle weakness
Pain in the mouth and throat

If you’ve been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease as a result of exposure to paraquat, you have rights. Don’t wait to take legal action! Hold the manufacturers responsible for allowing a toxic herbicide on the market.

What is Parkinson's disease?

Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder in which the nerve cells in the brain don’t produce enough dopamine, a neurotransmitter that’s vital to motor function. Without enough dopamine, patients experience limb stiffness, tremors, and mobility issues. Parkinson’s disease can also have other symptoms, such as sleep disorders, cognitive dysfunction, depression, and constipation. Parkinson’s disease is progressive, so it will get worse over time, and treatment only helps to slow the progression.

Are there deadlines to filing a Paraquat lawsuit?

Paraquat lawsuits have deadlines to file. When you are part of a mass tort lawsuit like this, in-depth investigations need to be performed. If you’ve been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and believe you qualify for a lawsuit, don’t delay.
