Vegas special pt 1: Consumers v ‘cancerous’ corporations

RT producer Brigida Santos guest-hosts this week’s special episode from the Mass Torts Made Perfect conference in sunny Las Vegas!

Brigida first sits down with attorney Wesley Bowden to discuss PFAS contamination of our drinking water and household products. Lawsuits allege industrial giants like DuPont and 3M have known about the health hazards of PFAS for decades, and have also failed to properly dispose of chemical waste from PFAS processing, which will remain in our environment for tens of thousands of years.

Then, attorney Daniel Nigh discusses the flurry of lawsuits against the manufacturer of popular heartburn relief aid, Zantac, which contains a compound linked to various cancer growths.

Finally, Trial Lawyer magazine executive editor Farron Cousins talks about the corporate strategy Bayer-Monsanto has taken in response to over 18,000 lawsuits being filed against the manufacturer of cancer-causing Round Up weed killer.
