Farmers fight PBB contamination citing family illness
Michigan farmers testified before the state House Public Health Committee about PBB contaminated feed that sickened their families and livestock.

The advocates warned of economic harm if limits drop, noting $38 million paid in settlements since the 1973 contamination at Battle Creek Michigan Farm Bureau Services plant.
