What Caused the Fire?
April 2022: The MDL Paraquat class action judge will have a status conference on April 1st to review where the litigation is headed and how best to take the bellwether lawsuits forward for trial in November 2022. 44 new paraquat lawsuits have been added to the MDL in the last two weeks. At this pace, April 2022 will be the busiest month for new files yet. Last week, the parties filed their class-action bellwether picks with the Paraquat MDL judge. Those choices, however, have not been made public.
May 2022: In the last month, over 50 new cases have been added to the Paraquat Lawsuit Multidistrict Litigation (MDL). A group of six patients was recently selected by the Paraquat MDL court for the initial Paraquat Parkinson's disease bellwether trials. As a result, the first trial in November 2022 is approaching soon. The strategy is to select 16 paraquat claims from among the almost 1000 Parkinson's disease litigation claims filed. Following some limited fact discovery in these instances, paraquat attorneys on both sides submitted a preference list to the MDL court, ranking the 16 cases in order of priority. Attorneys for plaintiffs seek the finest facts for their clients, while defense attorneys want the worst. The judge whittled the list down to six Paraquat claims based on these rankings.
CLAIM UPDATES
As a result of a combination of terrestrial and atmospheric factors that contribute to "fire weather," a considerable portion of Hawaii was placed under a red flag warning due to the potential for fire outbreaks. However, the exact source of the fire still remains unknown. It is strongly linked to the primary utility that serves Hawaii, which failed to proactively cut off power before the strong winds reached Maui. Consequently, power lines toppled during the windstorm. The vigorous winds propelling the flames were engendered by Hurricane Dora, which was traversing the Pacific Ocean many miles to the south of Hawaii when the fires ignited. This information is according to the National Weather Service. Categorized as a Category 4 storm by the Central Pacific Hurricane Center, Dora induced forceful wind gusts exceeding 60 MPH that swept across Maui, resulting in the toppling of power lines and the destruction of residences. As many as 2,700 structures have been destroyed, leaving thousands without a home.
Furthermore, notable disparities in atmospheric pressure between Hurricane Dora and the air mass north of Hawaii generated a pressure gradient over the islands. This, in combination with arid conditions, posed a significant double threat of both fires and destructive winds, as outlined by the National Weather Service.

The Eaton Fire has raised concerns about its potential connection to PG&E's infrastructure, as the utility company has a history of involvement in wildfires across California. Early reports suggest that faulty electrical equipment may have been present in the area where the fire originated, though investigations are ongoing. PG&E has faced scrutiny and liability for past incidents, including the 2018 Camp Fire, which was traced to faulty equipment. Determining the cause of the Eaton Fire will require thorough examination of evidence by fire investigators and utility regulators.
