Agent Orange makers
ordered to stand trial
I
UNIONDALE, N.Y. (AP)-Five
companies that supplied Agent Orange
to the military may have failed to warn
about the danger to troops and
therefore must stand trial in a suit
brought by Vietnam veterans, a federal
judge has ruled.
Claims against four other companies
were dismissed.
THE RULING came yesterday from
U.S. District Judge George Pratt, who
let stand a class-action suit by some
40,000 veterans against Dow Chemical
Co., Monsanto, Diamond Shamrock,
Thompson Co., Riverdale Co., and Hof-
fman-Taft Co. on grounds that the
Agent Orange they provided the
military was relatively free of the toxic
chemical dioxin-less than five parts per
million.
Agent Orange was a herbicide used to
clear jungle vegetation during the Viet-
nam war. The veterans who brought the
suit some four years ago claim their
exposure to dioxin in the herbicide
caused cancer, liver disease and other
illnesses in them and birth defects in
their children.
AGENT ORANGE, if not manufac-
tured properly, can contain dioxin,
which is regarded as one of the
deadliest chemicals known to man.
"The record demonstrated," Pratt
said, "that the government and the
military had a considerable amount of
knowledge about dioxin and its health
hazards going back to the 1940s."
The chemical companies claim they
are not responsible for any injuries
because the government understood the
dangers and risks of Agent Orange, and
the firms manufactured the herbicide
according to government
specifications.
