Paraquat Linked to Parkinson’s Disease

Paraquat is a toxic chemical that is widely used as a herbicide (plant killer), primarily for weed and grass control. 

In the United States, paraquat is available primarily as a liquid in various strengths and sold under 17 different brand names, listed below:

  • Cyclone
  • Gramoxone
  • CycloneStar
  • Firestorm
  • Helmquat
  • Parazone
  • Paraquat 3 SL (Tigris)
  • Quick-Quat
  • Purgatory 3 SL
  • Willowood Paraquat 3SL
  • Blanco
  • Bonedry
  • Bonfire Herbicide
  • Devour
  • Para-SHOT 3.0
  • Paraquat 43.2% SL (RedEagle)
  • Paraquat Concentrate (Solera)

Because of its toxicity, Paraquat has been banned in more than 30 countries, including all of the countries in the European Union and China. 

In 2009 the American Journal of Epidemiology published findings suggesting exposure to Paraquat within 550 yards of a home increases the Parkinson’s disease risk by 75%.

In July of 2017, The Unified Parkinson’s Advocacy Council urged the EPA to end the use of Paraquat because of its connection to Parkinson’s disease. 

Despite these risks, the pesticide is still widely being used in the United States.

Paraquat Lawsuits

Because of their negligence and failure to inform users of the risks, several lawsuits have been filed against manufacturers of Paraquat to help victims be compensated for the suffering they’ve experienced.

Based on similar lawsuits that have been filed in the past, and depending on the levels of suffering caused by Parkinson’s, it is possible that victims of Paraquat diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease could receive compensation ranging in the 6-figures.

Although we know that monetary compensation can’t heal the suffering from a Parkinson’s disease diagnosis, it can help reduce the stress related to financial issues.  

What To Do Next?

If you or a loved one were exposed to or used Paraquat and were diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, it’s very important that you speak with an attorney as soon as possible.
