Makers of deadly Agent Orange keep claiming innocent
After their product Agent Orange has crippled millions of lives in Vietnam from the Vietnam War and onward, the US producers have continued to avoid taking responsibility and blame it on the US government instead.
The producers of AO now have to join with the US government to compensate for the damages the chemical left on Vietnamese people, Aldis said.
Aldis said Monsanto, Dow and other US chemical manufacturers can avoid their responsibility for now but not forever.
Monsanto and Dow Chemical were among seven companies producing more than 15 chemical compounds used during the Vietnam War including napalm for bombs and Agent Orange, according to contracts they signed with the US government in 1965. The two companies started operation legally in HCMC in 2007.
