Louisiana Crawfish Crop Losses and Aventis ICON Class Action Introduction With co-counsel, Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein, LLP, represents a class of crawfish farmers in Louisiana who have suffered tremendous losses in their pond-grown crawfish crops, allegedly as the result of the use of ICON, a pesticide manufactured by Aventis CropSciences USA, LLP ("Aventis"). The pesticide was used to combat the rice water weevil. Plaintiffs allege, however, that ICON is toxic to crawfish and caused the decline in the crawfish crop. Relationship Between Rice and Crawfish Farming Over 1,500 crawfish farmers operate in Louisiana, many of whom also farm rice in the same ponds or in close proximity to crawfish ponds. The rotation patterns for the two crops vary, but water that has been used in a rice field, called tailwater, is sometimes used to irrigate crawfish ponds. After planting rice, tailwater is also often discharged into surrounding ditches and canals, which downstream crawfish farmers may retrieve and introduce to their ponds. Plaintiffs' Allegations In 1999, Aventis introduced ICON into the Louisiana market without, plaintiffs assert, adequate testing and without considering how ICON would interact with the rice/crawfish rotation system used in Louisiana. ICON is applied to rice seeds by seed distributors, some of whom are also named as Defendants. The farmers filed suit against the manufacturers and sellers of the pesticide ICON (active ingredient fipronil) for losses in their pond-grown crawfish crops allegedly caused by the pesticide. Case Status On March 29, 2004, Judge James T. Genovese, of the 27th Judicial District Court, St. Landry Parish, Louisiana, granted preliminary approval to a $45 million settlement of the class action lawsuit. The settlement was reached after the parties had presented nearly a month's worth of evidence at trial, and were on the verge of making closing arguments to the jury. "The settlement is a fair resolution for Louisiana's crawfish farmers. Farmers who suffered tremendous declines in their crawfish crops allegedly due to the contamination of their ponds with fipronil have had their day in court and will now be compensated," commented Patrick C. Morrow of Morrow, Morrow, Ryan & Bassett and trial counsel for plaintiffs. "We are grateful for the diligence and dedication shown by Judge Genovese in managing the case through five years of strongly contested litigation," stated Lieff Cabraser attorney Lori E. Andrus, a member of the trial team. "Today's settlement serves as a clear example of the critical role Louisiana state courts play in advancing the rights of Louisiana citizens in consumer and environmental class action lawsuits." In addition to attorneys Morrow and Andrus, Class Counsel in the case consisted of Vance Andrus, Richard Arsenault, Dawn Barrios, Kirk A. Guidry, Bruce Kingsdorf, Gano Lemoine, Hunter Lundy, and Matt Lundy.

In entering into the settlement, defendants admitted no liability for the damages allegedly suffered by class members.
