Siskinds LLP’s paraquat (Gramoxone®) class action has been certified by the B.C. Supreme Court, as reported by The Vancouver Sun.
Paraquat is an active ingredient in some popular commercial herbicides, the most common formulation of which is known under the trade name Gramoxone®. The proposed class action alleges, among other things, that exposure to paraquat carries a risk of developing Parkinson’s disease, and that the manufacturers failed to inform users of this risk.
