Conyers, GA: A class action lawsuit against BioLab, Inc. and KIK Consumer Products on behalf of thousands of Georgia residents impacted by a catastrophic chemical fire at BioLab’s Conyers facility has been filed. Because of the negligence of the companies involved, the lawsuit aims to achieve justice for those exposed to potentially toxic chemicals and hazards created by the plume that covered Rockdale and surrounding cities and counties.  

On September 29, 2024, a fire developed at the BioLab chemical plant in Conyers, Georgia, potentially releasing a hazardous plume of smoke containing poisonous chemicals, such as chlorine and hydrochloric acid, which could be seen for miles. These toxins may pose serious health risks, including respiratory issues, headaches, watery eyes and long-term effects not yet known. Because of this incident, approximately 90,000 residents were ordered to evacuate or shelter in place, while the Georgia Emergency Management Agency urged people to stay indoors, keep windows closed, and avoid using air conditioners to prevent exposure.

The class action lawsuit asserts claims for negligence, nuisance, and trespass, alleging that class members suffered a variety of property-related damages--including loss of use and enjoyment of their homes, loss of profits for local businesses, reduction in property values, and investigation, cleanup, and remediation costs.

The Reeves Law Firm, along with its legal partners, invites residents, business owners, first responders, and property owners who have been affected by the fire to join the class action lawsuit. Victims may seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, relocation costs, property damage, and other related losses.

BioLab, which manufactures pool and spa chemicals for KIK Consumer Products, has a troubling history of negligence. The Conyers facility has been involved in multiple serious incidents since 2004, raising significant safety concerns.
