Agent Orange victims file lawsuit against US firms
The lawsuit, filed with the help of the Vietnam Association for Victims of Agent Orange, was submitted to the US District Court in Brooklyn, NY, on January 30, the group’s vice-president, Nguyen Trong Nhan, said.
He said it was the first lawsuit of its kind filed by Vietnamese against US firms, and that the Brooklyn court was chosen because it had handled similar cases filed by former US soldiers.
