POSSIBLE AGENT ORANGE LAWSUIT

Civilian workers exposed to the chemical compound Agent Orange on Eglin Air Force Base ranges in the 1960’s may be able to file suit against the federal government. Santa Rosa Beach attorney Rusty Sanders and Upstate New York attorney Victor Yannacone, may handle the case. The two attorneys have drafted a complaint, but have not yet filed it in federal court. Yannacone argued the case of Vietnam veterans exposed to the herbicide Agent Orange that led to a 180 million dollar settlement in 1984. The potential filing would target manufacturers, including Monsanto, Dow, Diamond Shamrock and others, along with contractors.
