in 2020, The US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit affirmed on Tuesday a lower court's ruling that Alcolac Inc. (Alcolac), an American chemical company, was not liable for the injuries incurred by numerous former members of the US military as a result of their exposure to mustard gas during the Gulf War. In their lawsuit, the former US military personnel alleged that Alcolac was accountable for their injuries because it illegally supplied thiodiglycol (TDG) to the Iraqi government, which was subsequently used to produce the mustard gas to which they were exposed. They claimed that Alcolac knowingly or negligently sold huge quantities of TDG to Iraq, violating the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act (JASTA) and Texas civil conspiracy laws.
