A class-action lawsuit was filed against GKN Aerospace on behalf of Garden Grove residents affected by a hazardous chemical tank incident. The lawsuit alleges the company failed to properly protect the community from methyl methacrylate, a highly volatile industrial chemical used to make acrylic plastics. Authorities reported a leak and worked to stabilize a 34,000-gallon pressurized tank after the incident began. The situation forced about 50,000 people out of their homes in California.

Officials later reported improved conditions, including a cracked tank that released some pressure and no chemical substance leak.
