HOW TO KNOW IF YOU HAVE A PARAQUAT CLAIM
Paraquat is an industrial weed killer used heavily in agriculture across the United States. It was sprayed, mixed, and handled directly by licensed applicators, farmers, and agricultural workers in the fields.
Studies show that exposure to Paraquat may increase Parkinson’s Disease risk by up to 600%, depending on exposure length and intensity.
This degenerative condition can take years to fully develop, meaning many victims were exposed in the past without realizing the risk.
Although Paraquat is banned in more than 30 countries, it is still sold and used widely in the U.S.
Chemical manufacturers are now facing lawsuits from individuals diagnosed with Parkinson’s after exposure.
These lawsuits allege the companies:
- Failed to warn about the risk of Parkinson’s from Paraquat exposure
- Provided no safety instructions for masks, gloves, or protective gear
- Warned only about swallowing the chemical, not inhalation or skin contact
- Ignored early research and internal studies showing risk
Internal company documents suggest Syngenta knew the risks and failed to act — even though safer alternatives were available.
Now, They’re Being Taken to Court and You May Have a Case
Thousands of lawsuits have been filed by individuals exposed to Paraquat who later developed Parkinson’s Disease.
In 2021, Syngenta agreed to a $187.5 million settlement in Illinois.
As of May 2025, more than 5,800 additional cases are pending in federal and state courts.
