Chemical giant DuPont Co. has gone on the offensive. Growers who claim the DuPont fungicide Benlate 50 DF damaged or destroyed their crops filed more than 600 lawsuits in the early 1990s. Then, six years later, the growers returned to court and claimed DuPont's settlement in the first slew of cases amounted to fraud and racketeering. Recently DuPont cried foul, saying the growers have no right to sue the company again. The growers are breaching their settlement agreements with DuPont, the company says.
