Fertilizer Plant Had Class Action Suit

As details emerge about the Texas
fertilizer plant that was the site of
Wednesday’s fatal explosion and fire, a
few tidbits can be gleaned from a 2007
lawsuit that the plant’s owners filed
against agribusiness giant Monsanto Co.
The suit, filed as a potential class action
in U.S. District Court for the western
district of Texas, claimed that Monsanto
had artificially inflated prices for its
herbicide Roundup through anti-
competitive actions. The suit did not
relate to storing fertilizer, believed to be
at the root of Wednesday’s blast.
The suit was filed by Texas Grain Storage
Inc. The company now calls itself West
Fertilizer Co.

This is not the best source, I admit. But is this true? Is there a class action lawuit?
