Default Pesticides and farm kids

Well I was interested in this bit:
"In 1996 a Miami jury awarded US$4 million to a child whose mother was
exposed in pregnancy to Benlate. The child was born without eyes. The mother
in this case was subject to an unusually high dose of Benlate. The case is
on appeal by the manufacturers. An important issue in the case is whether
the timing of exposure - during the formation of the optic nerve in the
foetus - is critical as well as the magnitude of exposure. A Benlate
compensation case involving an English boy from Essex born without eyes is
also due to be heard shortly in the US(21)."


But take a look at the rodent studies.

Winning in law does not mean that you are right.
