"A law professor is suing Boeing for $40 million, alleging that exposure to toxic fumes on a 737 operated by Delta Air Lines last August led to his lasting brain and respiratory injuries, according to the Wall Street Journal. After a flight from Atlanta landed in Los Angeles, a dirty sock-like odor filled the cabin, worsening as the plane waited 45 minutes for an available gate, according to the article."
"Jonathan Harris, a Loyola Law School associate professor at the time of the flight, alleges he had trouble breathing then vomited into a plastic bag while sitting in the plane, but has experienced lingering issues such as balance and motor skill troubles, tremors, memory loss and cognitive defects, according to the story. The suit, filed last week in Arlington, Va, is the latest to allege that exposure to vaporized engine oils during a flight has led to long-term illness, the story says."
A Loyola Law School associate professor filed a $40 million lawsuit against Boeing, alleging toxic fume exposure on a Delta-operated 737 last August caused lasting brain and respiratory injuries. The flight from Atlanta to Los Angeles reportedly filled with a dirty sock-like odor while the plane waited 45 minutes for a gate. The passenger reports immediate breathing trouble and vomiting and later developed balance and motor-skill problems, tremors, memory loss and cognitive defects. The suit, filed in Arlington, Va., alleges vaporized engine oils caused long-term illness and is described as a passenger-led case highlighting potential airline industry liability amid rising fume-event claims.
