Judge halts trial in $1 million PBB cattle suit in Michigan
Wexford County Circuit Judge William Peterson suspended the Tacoma case after four months of technical testimony and ordered a 60 day recess. He urged mediation for Tacoma and 84 related suits against Michigan Chemical Co and Farm Bureau Services to settle out of court, noting a trial schedule of years rather than months. The PBB contamination from a 1973 feed mix caused animal and human exposure concerns amid prior multi‑million payouts. Separately Nebraska birth data show 12,186 male and 11,580 female births in 1976.
