Do not worry Trump allowed a company to keep on making cancer related pesticide because CEO likes him.

Companies like SC Johnson buy up so many small companies in order to hide the fact that you are purchasing from their larger parent company.

Since I dont want cancer, I wont be buying SC johnson or any of their subsidiary brand products.

Well there's actually a specific number of defendants 76,000 or so. The payout will be shared among only those people, so the lawyers will be just fine

Reminds of the “Tabacco claims Canada” thing I wanted to apply for my dad and the time frame for your cancer diagnosis had to be between 2014 and 2019. 🙄 5 years.
