Burn Pit Litigation Expanding to Over 43 Lawsuits

It has been reported that lawsuits, on the behalf of injured US troops and civilian contractors, who were exposed at US bases to burn pit fumes, have multiplied. There are now 43 separate lawsuits that have been filed.


Regulations require that waste management outside of the United States must comply with the National Environmental Policy Act. These regulations require that facilities be designed, operated and maintained so as to protect the health and safety of service members, family members, civilian work force and contractors. The 43 complaints filed allege that these regulations were not followed by the contractors.

Well known contractors including Haliburton Company, HBR, Inc., Kellog, Brown & Root Services, Inc., and Kellog, Brown & Root LLC are potential defendants in the litigation. It is alleged that these companies burned toxic waste products, instead of disposing of them in clean-burning incinerators.
