Flight Attendants Sue Boeing Over Toxic Fumes On Jet

Four flight attendants have filed a lawsuit against Boeing Co. because of "devastating health effects" from what they contend were toxic fumes that leaked into a 2013 flight. Three of the four flight attendants said they lost consciousness during the Alaska Airlines flight July 12, 2013, from Boston to San Diego, and all three were rushed to a hospital after the plane made an emergency landing in Chicago. Boeing manufactured the airplane. The suit, filed in U.S. Circuit Court of Cook County, Ill., accuses Boeing of fraud, negligence and design defects in the Boeing 737-890.
