Imprelis Tree Damage Lawsuit Details

According to the Imprelis lawsuit filed by Gilman Law LLP, a professional lawn care company applied Imprelis to the lead Plaintiff’s lawn because “it was marketed as the most environmentally friendly weed control product ever manufactured.” Since then, multiple trees located on Plaintiff’s property have begun to display the signature signs of distress and Imprelis induced damage. The lawsuit alleges that Imprelis has been applied to thousands, if not tens of thousands, of lawns and other properties including but not limited to tree farms, golf courses, and nurseries. Property owners paid for lawn treatment services that included Imprelis in order to treat their property for weeds, and to protect their property’s aesthetic. The complaint alleges that this protection came at the high price of damage and/or death of mature and valuable landscape trees that are now an eyesore on their property.

Imprelis, which was conditionally registered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in August 2010, is the brand name for aminocyclopyrachlor, a selective herbicide intended to kill unwanted broad leaf weeds, including dandelions, clovers, ground ivy, and wild violets, without damaging other desirable, non-target vegetation. Imprelis has been advertised, marketed, and sold to lawn-product consumers as being both highly effective and environmentally friendly. However, according to the lawsuit, reports had emerged by May 2011 of dead and dying landscape trees associated with the application Imprelis. DuPont issued a letter to turf managers in June 2011 stating it was investigating the problems. By July 2011, the EPA had launched an investigation. A month later, the agency issued a Stop Sale and Removal Order for Imprelis. By that time, DuPont had submitted more than 7,000 adverse incident reports to the EPA involving Imprelis in Minnesota, Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, Delaware, Wisconsin, West Virginia and other states.
