A federal judge has awarded more than $680,000 to 17 families who were sickened by a 2021 jet fuel leak into a Navy drinking water system at the Pearl Harbor Naval base in Hawaii. These cases are considered bellwether and may influence claims from approximately 7,500 other military family members affected by the contamination. Separately, drug companies Bristol-Myers Squibb and Sanofi have agreed to a $700 million settlement with the state of Hawaii over allegations related to the blood thinner Plavix, specifically concerning its warning label.
