California Benzene Toxic Pit Lawsuit
A California jury in a trial in Santa Barbara awarded $63 million in damages against Chevron. The jury found the oil giant was liable for covering up a toxic chemical pit on land purchased by a man who built a house on it and was later diagnosed with a deadly blood cancer.
According to Kevin Wright’s lawsuit, he developed multiple myeloma after building his home directly over the chemical pit near Santa Barbara in 1985. Wright lived in that house for about two years but 27 years later, he was diagnosed with a type of blood cancer that can be caused by benzene exposure.
In 2015, Wright was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, has received two stem cell treatments, and is getting chemo once a month, and he’s going to continue to do that for the foreseeable future. Continue reading

PFAS stands for Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances. PFAS are a class of more than 15,000 man-made chemicals that have been widely used in various industrial and consumer products since the 1950s. PFAS are prized for their ability to repel water and oil, resist heat, and reduce friction. PFAS is supposed to be regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the federal government, but usually nothing comes of it and hence Private Citizens lawsuits like this one, to force the regulatory bodies to act.
PFAS have been used in a wide range of products including non-stick cookware, think Teflon, stain-resistant fabrics, think ScotchGard, water-repellent clothing, food packaging, think Pizza boxes, firefighting foams, and many others. Continue reading
