Last week, following a four-week trial, an Alabama jury handed boat repairman Mark Griffin a $70 million victory after he contracted a flesh-eating bacteria in 2019. According to Griffin's lawsuit, Tyson and industrial plumbing contractor Hydraservice were responsible for a large wastewater spill that led to his infection. In June 2019, Tyson's River Valley Ingredients facility in Hanceville discharged an estimated 220,000 gallons of partially treated wastewater into Mulberry Fork, a major tributary of the Black Warrior River. The spill was caused by a "mechanical failure" traced to some temporary piping work installed by Hydraservice. According to a report from AL.com, Griffin lives some 30 miles from the plant. Given his profession, he has spent most of his life on the Black Warrior River, but he became severely ill after coming into contact with bacteria in the water.Griffin contracted necrotizing fasciitis and had to undergo multiple surgeries. Some seven years later, he still has an open wound and a bone infection in his hips and pelvis. The jury awarded $25 million in compensatory damages and $45 million in punitive damages. #TysonFoods #EnvironmentalNews #WaterContamination #IndustrialAccident #ManufacturingNews #WorkplaceSafety #PublicHealth #LegalNews #Lawsuit #ToxicExposure #WaterSafety #InfrastructureFailure #IndustrialSpill #BreakingNews #HealthCrisis #CorporateAccountability #USNews #RiverPollution #SafetyFirst #EnvironmentalImpact
