New Jersey Mesothelioma Lawsuit Reopened Against Scotts Fertilizer

JERSEY CITY, NEW JERSEY - A New Jersey appeals court reopened a mesothelioma wrongful death lawsuitagainst Scotts Turf Builder lawn fertilizer after new evidence was discovered. The original lawsuit was filed in 2012 by New Jersey cabinetmaker Lorenz Brandecker. His personal injury lawsuit claimed his annual use of their products from 1967 to the 1980s contributed to his mesothelioma diagnosis. Scotts secured a victory in this case in 2014.
Brandecker’s lawsuit alleged the fertilizer he used was made with vermiculite ore that was contaminated with asbestos. Throughout the time period that he was using Turf Builder, evidence showed that Scotts used vermiculite from a mine in Libby, Montana. The mines in Libby are still part of numerous cleanup efforts by the Environmental Protection Agency today, after being listed on their National Priority List in 1999 because of the asbestos contamination. A report from the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry revealed Scotts used vermiculite as a filler in their products through 2001, though not all the vermiculite was obtained from Libby.
In the original 2012 filing, Brandecker’s lawyer requested samples of Turf Builder that would have been made with vermiculite from Libby. The company confirmed they had samples of vermiculite-containing fertilizer, but didn’t confirm it was made with samples from Libby or the time frame the sample was made. Without the proper evidence and the trial judge excluding some witness testimony on the plaintiff’s behalf, Scotts was granted a summary judgement in 2014. Brandecker unfortunately passed away from his mesothelioma years before the case closed.
