Georgia Chemical Fire Lawsuit

Following a massive chemical fire that left over 100,000 people exposed to toxic smoke outside of Atlanta, Georgia, residents are looking for answers and accountability. Many were told to evacuate while others were instructed to shelter in place as a giant plume of chlorine-filled smoke lingered in the air for days. Chlorine inhalation may cause burning of the eyes, nose and mouth, as well as coughing, choking, nausea, vomiting, headache and dizziness.

The fire ignited in the early morning hours on Sunday, September 29, 2024, after a sprinkler head malfunctioned at industrial plant BioLab in Conyers, GA. Residents were left worried and wondering what happened—and who is responsible for the disaster.

As the massive plume of smoke drifted over Rockdale County days later, residents have started filing lawsuits seeking damages from the fire. Plaintiffs are seeking health and property-related damages tied to the emergency evacuation and shelter-in-place orders.

Anyone who was instructed to evacuate or shelter in place following the BioLab fire, including residents of Rockdale County, Georgia, may be eligible to file a lawsuit against BioLab and its parent company, KIK Custom Products. Negligent safety procedures at the facility may have been the culprit for the disaster. We aim to hold those who are responsible accountable for the damages caused to the health and safety of Conyers and the surrounding communities’ residents and businesses.
