A trial involving three teachers ended in a $185 million verdict in July, including $135 million in punitive damages, which Bayer is appealing. Nearly 200 people, including students, parents and staff, have sued Bayer over the alleged contamination resulting from exposure to PCBs found in fluorescent light ballasts at Sky Valley, and 19 more trials are scheduled.
