DuPont settles with one victim’s family in fatal Texas gas leak
DuPont has settled one of the lawsuits brought by the families of four workers killed in a fatal gas leak at DuPont's La Porte plant in November, 2014, according to the Houston Chronicle.
The estate of Crystle Wise, represented by her daughter Jasmine, has reached a confidential financial settlement, according to statements issued by DuPont and the Wise family attorney. Wise, an operator at DuPont's Lannate Unit, was killed last November when nearly 24,000 pounds of toxic methyl mercaptan spewed into a tower housing a pesticide manufacturing unit at the plant just outside Houston.
