In September 2026, Metro-Atlanta residents filed two proposed class-action lawsuits in a U.S. federal court, seeking damages for health problems they say stem from the September 29, 2024 BioLab fire in Conyers, Georgia.
The suits were filed on the fire's two‑year anniversary and allege that the chemical plume released by the blaze spread across the Atlanta metropolitan area, causing the claimed health issues.
The legal actions bring renewed attention to the incident, which emitted a chemical plume that affected the region, as plaintiffs pursue compensation.
