    Bhopal disaster and Union Carbide India liability

    On 3 December 1984, a pesticide facility operated by Union Carbide India released methyl isocyanate gas in Bhopal. The disaster caused thousands of deaths and more than 500,000 reported injuries or affected persons in accounts cited by the company's history. Indian and United States courts held Union Carbide India responsible in connection with the event. The incident concerns the predecessor corporate identity and remains central to discussion of Eveready Industries India's historical lineage.
