Paraquat is used to control unwanted weeds and grasses. Throughout the United States, it has been widely used as a herbicide; however, its toxic properties have led to health risks associated with the heart, lungs, and liver. Only licensed professionals in the United States have been permitted to make use of Paraquat in their fields, considering the high risks associated with the chemical.

Many cases have come to light, stating that companies and manufacturers have failed to warn users about the risks associated with direct contact with Paraquat. Plaintiffs have alleged that even a brief exposure to the toxic chemical has led to severe medical conditions, and they have filed lawsuits seeking compensation for the same.
A plaintiff suffered major emotional distress after the companies failed to warn him about the harmful effects of the Paraquat herbicide. The victim further filed a lawsuit in 2019 and received compensation of $5.6 million for the medical expenses.
In another instance, a lawsuit was filed in Arkansas, where the man claimed that he had developed Parkinson’s disease due to direct exposure to Paraquat while working in fields between 1964 and 1973. Post the rise in cases, China and Switzerland banned the use of this chemical, considering its nature.
