Farmers were never warned by manufacturers of the dangerous Paraquat® facts

Due to the resistance weeds have built up to other herbicide products, Paraquat® has fast become one of the most commonly used herbicide formulas in the United States.

But, several of the giant chemical companies that produce Paraquat® chose not to warn farmers or their families about the dangers of exposure before these victims developed Parkinsons.

According to a recent newswire press release, agrochemical giant Syngenta Group ignored and downplayed known risks of its  Paraquat®-based weed killer Gramoxone despite research over decades linking the chemical to neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease.

According to Parkinson’s News Today, “Paraquat® has been linked to a higher Parkinson’s risk by its association with that disorder among agricultural workers exposed to this pesticide, and through studies showing that it can kill dopamine-producing neurons in mice.”

In response to evidence pointing to the dangers of Paraquat®, the European Union has outright banned it entirely while the EPA now requires thorough training for those using this harmful chemical.

For those farmers who think they may have developed Parkinson’s, some of the most common symptoms include:

  • Tremors 
  • Loss of smell
  • Trouble sleeping
  • Trouble moving
  • Trouble walking
  • Masked face
  • Dizziness, fainting
  • Stooping, hunching over

We believe that the farmer victims who develop Parkinson’s and their families should be able to face the manufacturer and get the justice and compensation they deserve for the lifetime of care that they’ll need.
