In a recently filed lawsuit,\u00a0Williams v. Deterex\u00a0Corporation<\/em><\/a>, the plaintiff alleges that her husband lost his life as a\u00a0result of a company’s failure to appropriately label a load of hydrogen sulfide as hazardous.\u00a0On April 26, 2016, the decedent was transporting a load of materials for the defendant chemical company to another location.\u00a0After he offloaded the cargo, the decedent commenced the standard procedure used to wash out the truck’s tank. He was wearing protective gear at this time. While the tank wash was occurring, the decedent was exposed to fumes from the hazardous chemical that remained in the tank. On the\u00a0following day, the decedent passed away.<\/p>\n

Several state and federal regulations govern the safe handling of waste and hazardous waste materials. One rule, for example, requires trucks transporting such materials to carry a Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest. The load that the decedent transported on April 26 was accompanied by\u00a0a manifest. It stated, however, that the load was “non-hazardous, non D.O.T. regulated material” and identified the contents as “sulfate water\/solids.” Also attached to the manifest was a laboratory analysis that allegedly verified the waste profile of the load. The analysis was conducted by U.S. Ecology on February 1, 2016, and it expired on March 10, 2016.<\/p>\n
