Our firm also represents families of deceased individuals who may have been harmed by long-term Paraquat exposure. Because symptoms often appear years after exposure, many victims remain unaware that Paraquat may be the underlying cause of their illness.

Although banned in over 30 countries — including the European Union, China, and Brazil — Paraquat remains legal in the United States under strict "restricted use" guidelines.
