Hometeam Pest Defense Customers vs. Hometeam/Centex
The HomeTeam Pest Defense Company, a subsidiary of Centex Corporation, provides built-in home pest treatments through a tubes-in-the-wall or tubes-in-the-floor pest defense system. However, some individuals who have the tubes-in-the-wall or tubes-in-the-floor pest defense system have found it to be an ineffective system. Independent tests of the tubes-in-the-wall or tubes-in-the-floor pest defense system have also questioned the effectiveness of the system. Our office is currently investigating the tubes-in-the-wall or tubes-in-the-floor pest defense system. If you have this system in your home and believe that it is not working, please call to speak with a lawyer about our investigation at 1-866-467-1400, ext. 100, or you can make a claim on this page.

Pullen Seeds and Soils vs. Monsanto
Pullen Seeds and Soils of Sac City, Iowa, filed a federal class action lawsuit against Monsanto, accusing the ag-chem and seed giant of using illegal tactics to keep its dominant share of the glyphosate market.

An environmental class action may be the proper remedy when a company, or a number of companies, release a pollutant into the environment that harms a group of people. Sometimes the pollutant is released over a long period of time, perhaps in the course of the company's manufacturing business. Other times the pollutant is a one-time release, perhaps following a fire, explosion or other accident. In either case the people who live or work in the affected area may seek compensation through a class action for environmental injury.

Another type of environmental class action can arise when a group of employees at a particular company is affected by a toxic substance that they encounter during their work. State workers' compensation laws can make it difficult to bring an action against the employer, but sometimes it may be possible, and when it's not possible there may be other responsible parties, such as the firms who supplied the toxic substances, or the company that formerly operated the business.
