DCPA (Dacthal, or dimethyl tetrachloroterephthalate) Pesticide Injuries Investigation
On August 6, 2024, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency issued an emergency order suspending all uses and sales of a weedkiller linked to serious health risks for unborn babies. Lieff Cabraser is investigating claims of injuries ranging from low birth weight, impaired brain development, decreased IQ, and impaired motor skills related to exposure to DCPA.
“DCPA is so dangerous that it needs to be removed from the market immediately.” –Michal Freedhoff, EPA Assistant Administrator for the Office of Chemical Safety

About Lieff Cabraser’s Personal Injury/Product Liability Practice Group
Lieff Cabraser has played a leading role in many of the largest, most important personal injury law and wrongful death lawsuits in the U.S., including infant injury cases like deadly NEC from defective baby formula and other toxic child products. These cases have involved negligent conduct as well as a vast range of defective products — including dangerous prescription drugs like the opioids that were overdistributed and overprescribed to harm communities nationwide and products like talcum powder linked to ovarian cancer, faulty medical devices, unsafe vehicles, and dangerous consumer products. In many cases, in addition to financial recovery, we have assisted our clients in persuading corporate defendants to issue recalls and otherwise improve their safety procedures and oversight for the protection of all consumers and patients.
