Benlate is the brand name of a fungicide produced by the DuPont chemical company between 1970 and 2001 to kill fungus growing on commercial crops. Though studies about Benlate's toxicity have been inconclusive, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency classifies it as a possible carcinogen. Animal studies have shown that prenatal exposure to Benlate may cause anopthalmia and micropthalmia, diseases in which babies are born with no eyes or abnormally small eyes. Benlate is also cited in thousands of lawsuits for damaging crops, possibly due to contamination with herbicides. When DuPont's internal studies failed to show that Benlate causes crop or health damage, the company stopped settling lawsuits. Nevertheless, DuPont took Benlate off the market in 2001, citing the high cost of defending itself in court.

DuPont's Benlate® Fungicide

Benlate® is a fungicide which is used pre-harvest and post-harvest as a dip or dust to combat a wide range of fungal diseases in arable and vegetable crops. Benomyl is the active ingredient in the brand name product Benlate® , produced exclusively by DuPont. Before DuPont discontinued manufacturing Benlate® in 2001, this fungicide had long been one of DuPont's most successful products and was registered worldwide for many crops. read more

Benlate® and Eye Defects

Approximately 1 in 100,000 babies are born with anophthalmia (no eyes) worldwide. The rest are believed to be caused by environmental factors--for example, exposure to an environmental toxin such as Benlate® --or viral infections. Currently, at least ten children and their families have brought legal action against DuPont, the manufacturer of Benlate® , claiming exposure to Benlate® caused their eye defects ; one in Florida, one in West Virginia, and eight in Delaware. read more
