Earlier Agent Orange Class Action Settlement

In 1984, Agent Orange manufacturers Dow Chemical, Monsanto (now Solutia), Diamond Shamrock, Hercules, Uniroyal, and others agreed to a class action settlement of $180 million to be paid to Vietnam veterans exposed to Agent Orange during the Vietnam war, and funds were distributed between 1988 and 1996.

Since no allowance was made for Vietnam vets who developed cancer or an illness after January 1, 1995, in June 2003 the US Supreme Court affirmed an appeals court decision which allowed Vietnam veterans diagnosed on or after that date with an illness or cancer related to Agent Orange to sue manufacturers of Agent Orange.
