A suit over an industrial explosion in Perth Amboy that killed three workers and injured eight others settled on Aug. 15 for $11.7 million.
The plaintiffs in Vasquez v. Rexarc International Inc. claimed that the Jan. 21, 2005, blast at Acetylene Services Co. was caused by a defective valve that caused gas to backflow into a wooden shed, where it was ignited by a kerosene space heater or by a malfunctioning electrical component. Three men working near the shed — Juan Pablo Morillo, German Gonzalez and Ynio Perez — were killed and a fourth was injured, as were seven others in a nearby building.
