Illegally Dumping 100 Million Pounds of Toxic
Coal Ash Waste Onto A Pristine Dominican Republic Beach,
U.S. Power Corporation Created A Genetic Time Bomb,
Mass Tort Complaint Alleges
First-Of-Its Kind Lawsuit Filed on Behalf of 11 Plaintiffs, Living
and Dead, Who Suffered Missing Limbs, Missing Organs, Central Nervous
System Injuries and Gastrointestinal Deformities; A Two-Headed
Siamese Twin Died Shortly After Birth
WILMINGTON, DE – One of the world’s largest power generating companies caused horrendous birth defects, lung injuries, and other acute and chronic medical problems from illegally dumping 100 million pounds of toxic coal ash onto a pristine Caribbean beachfront , according to a groundbreaking mass tort lawsuit filed late November 4th against Arlington, Virginia-based AES Corporation (“AES”). The eight-count lawsuit on behalf of 11 plaintiffs, living and dead, from the small rural village of Arroyo Barril in the Dominican Republic was filed in Delaware Superior Court.
Two of the children died after birth from catastrophic birth defects. Two boys survived: one with no arms; the other, born with his stomach outside his body, had to endure several surgeries. Another child was found -- in utero -- to have massive cranial defects and had to be aborted, according to Diane Paolicelli, Esq. of Levy Phillips & Konigsberg LLP in New York City. Paolicelli, who leads the firm’s medical malpractice and catastrophic injury practice group, represents birth defect victims.
