Vinyl Chloride Lawsuit: McCollum Lake
We are involved with individual lawsuits, mostly concerning industrial exposure. Here is an article covering a lawsuit claiming that liver cancer (probably angiosarcoma) was caused by environmental exposure to vinyl chloride.
The family of a longtime McHenry resident has become the latest to sue two Ringwood manufacturers for allegedly causing cancer by polluting air and groundwater.
Next of kin of the late Edward Linnane filed the lawsuit late last month in Pennsylvania state court accusing Rohm and Haas and Modine Manufacturing Co. of causing the liver cancer that killed Linnane, 74, in 1993. The lawsuit is the 23rd to be filed on behalf of current or former McCullom Lake area residents since April 2006.
