Residents of Louisville's Beechmont neighborhood file class action lawsuit
Residents of the southern Louisville area around the Beechmont neighborhood have been noticing foul smells for years, but they didn't know what was causing them. Then, on February 1 of this year, they began complaining of strong smelling chemical vapors in their homes, as well as headaches, nausea and other complaints.
Local residents feel that the company responsible for the February 1 chemical/vapor leak, Nuplex Resins, LLC, located at 4730 Crittenden Drive, adjacent to a densely populated residential neighborhood, has been less than forthcoming about what happened and the extent of the problem. Government records show that there have been environmental issues at the plant since at least 2001.
Residents have filed a class action lawsuit in Kentucky state court in Louisville in an attempt to learn the truth about the chemical exposure and, if necessary, to force the company to pay to clean up any environmental damage done to the neighborhood.
Below is a link to a copy of the complaint, which was filed on Friday in Jefferson Circuit Court. The case was assigned case number 10-CI-02081 in Division 8.
