Agent Orange was used heavily during the Vietnam War, exposing around 2.4 million U.S. veterans and families to the extremely toxic herbicide. The effects of Agent Orange have been linked to prostate and respiratory cancers, multiple myeloma, Hodgkin’s disease, spinal bifidia in babies exposed to Agent Orange, diabetes, in addition to many other Agent Orange effects according to the Veteran Affairs.
An April 2003 Columbia University study re-examined military records of the Vietnam War and found over half of the 1.84 million gallons of herbicides sprayed from 1961-1971 was Agent Orange. Back in 1979, after the first Agent Orange class action was filed, a 1985 out of court settlement resulted in a $180 million fund for Agent Orange victims, which included 2.4 million veterans that the Agent Orange class action was supposed to include.
Many people were either not made aware of the Agent Orange settlement or did not qualify to receive any of the Agent Orange settlement due to illnesses developing after 1994, the cut off date to receive Agent Orange settlement funds. The impact of Agent Orange surpasses estimations and many people have suffered Agent Orange’s deadly effects without receiving justice. Now, Agent Orange lawsuits have been allowed. In a deadlocked Supreme Court vote, the law states that an automatic affirmation of the lower court’s ruling must occur, allowing Agent Orange legal action to occur.
