Chesterfield Circuit Court
Nichole Wright, administrator of the estate of Darrius Marcell Wright, deceased v. EIDP, Inc. f/n/a E.I. DuPont de Nemours and Company; DuPont Specialty Products USA, LLC; Dawn Smith; and Shannon Woods
Plaintiff says Darrius, while working for MPW Industrial Services, Inc., on the premises of the DuPont plant in Chesterfield on May 26, 2022, was instructed to use a water-blaster-and-vac system to remove solidified and hardened polymer from the Polymer Control Room instead of using a jackhammer to break it up as in the past, and during 4 hours water-blasting he absorbed m-Phenylenediamine “MPD” through his skin and lungs. Plaintiff says the next day he became violently ill, dying May 28 of MPD poisoning. Plaintiff says defendants knew or should have known of the safety hazards and should have provided a safety data sheet to his employer, and seeks $10 million in compensatory damages, and $1 million punitive.
