Insecticide Exposure Suit

In Junk v. Terminix Int’l. Co., No. 08-3811, an action alleging that plaintiff’s son’s multiple medical conditions were caused by exposure to Dursban, an insecticide manufactured by Dow Chemical Co., summary judgment for defendant is affirmed in part where the district court determined that plaintiff’s expert had not used a “scientifically valid” method to estimate that plaintiff’s son’s exposure exceeded a safe level.  However, the court reversed in part where there was arguably a reasonable basis for predicting that the state law might impose liability based upon the facts involved against an allegedly fraudulently joined individual defendant.
