2. Monsanto Sued For Allegedly Selling Toxic Chemicals In Ohio

The lawsuit claims the company knowingly sold the toxic compounds for close to 40 years. The company vehemently denies the allegations.

DeWine's lawsuit claims that Monsanto knew PCBs were toxic to humans in the 1930s. Instead of stopping production with the compounds, the lawsuit said, the company concealed the dangers, denied the toxicity and failed to warn customers.

The lawsuit wants money from the company to clean up PCB contamination from around the state, and relief of Ohio's natural resources. Besides Monsanto, the lawsuit also names Solutia and Pharmacia as defendants. Solutia took over the original Monsanto company's chemical business. Pharmacia is the successor to the original Monsanto company.
