A gas leak killed 12 people and made hundreds sick, but it easily could have been prevented. Demand justice!

Vladimir,

Residents of Viasakhapatnam in India woke up in the middle of the night on May 7, 2020 to a white mist that choked them, made them gag and burned their eyes. The mist was a dangerous neurotoxin leaked from a local plastic factory and it poisoned the air within a two mile radius, ultimately claiming 12 lives and sickening hundreds of people. Now it has come to light that this plastics factory was not up to code, and should not have been operating in the first place. Sign the petition asking for a federal investigation into why LG's plastics factory was allowed to operate without clearance!

Due to expansion of their operations, the electronics company LG was required by law to file for a federal environmental clearance. But they never did. Instead, they decided to illegally cut corners and only obtain permits on a state level — which require far fewer safety checks and assessments. Now, 12 people are dead and it's partly because this industrial heavyweight was too lazy and cheap to ensure their safety.

This cannot stand. LG prioritized monetary gain over human lives and the health of our planet, and they must be held responsible. Demand a federal investigation into why this LG factory was allowed to operate without federal permits, so that they are held accountable and also so that this dangerous loophole is finally closed!

Thank you,

P.S. 12 people died just because this corporation was too lazy and cheap to pay for proper safety precautions. Sign the petition for accountability.
