Dow Corning seeks Chapter 11 as implants litigation rises
Dow Corning Corp filed for Chapter 11 protection three weeks before key implant trials, freezing lawsuits while it crafts a plan to pay creditors. The move delays a $4.25 billion class action and preserves finances for the company, which posted a 1994 loss amid rising silicone implant claims. The Birmingham settlement, covering about 400,000 cases, assigns Dow Corning the largest share at $2 billion, with thousands still pursuing individual suits.
