Welcome to the Benlate thread of the Steigerwalt & Associates legal chat forum. Our law firm has years of collective experience in helping those who have been injured by Benlate, and the injuries that have been reported over the years have been nothing short of horrible in certain circumstances.
Benlate is a sprayed pesticide that was used prominently for many years, and was manufactured by DuPont Chemical. In short, Benlate's active ingredient, benomyl, is a fungicide, and its intended use was to protect farmers' crops from insects and other pests that historically had caused a high degree of damage to crops.
However, it appears that Benlate is a classic case of "the cure is worse than the disease," as a high number of reports began to surface over time regarding crops that were severely damaged by this substance and significant injuries being caused due to exposure to this substance.
Perhaps the most infamous case related to Benlate occurred when a couple was awarded $4 million in damages after the pregnant wife of a farmer gave birth to a child without eyes.
Ultimately, the product was recalled, but that doesn't mean that its effects are not still harming innocent people. If you have suffered from this substance, please contact our firm immediately to schedule an initial consultation.
