The fight to get recognition of a link between autism and childhood vaccines took a heavy blow in February when the U.S. Court of Federal Claims found no such connection in the three test cases before it. Results of recent studies certainly portended these outcomes, but hope remained that the so-called Vaccine Court ' the Office of Special Masters of the U.S. Court of Federal Claims ' might side with the claimants.
The claimants were seeking compensation from the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) (See 42 U.S.C. ' 300aa-10, et. seq.), a program set up in 1988 by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to compensate those who are injured by certain vaccines. In order to collect on a VICP claim, petitioning parents must generally show that: 1) their child received a vaccine covered by VICP; 2) the vaccine was given in the United States; 3) the child suffered a serious and long-term injury because of the vaccination; and 4) there has been no previous award or settlement concerning that injury. (In certain cases, if an injury is a well-known side-effect of a particular vaccine, and it is listed in what is called the “Vaccine Injury Table,” the petitioners need show only that the victim received the vaccine and that he or she suffered the injury listed in the table in order to recover.)

In recent years, there has been a growing number of dry cleaners claiming to be "organic," "green," or "eco-friendly." While that may be true with respect to some, many dry cleaners continue to use a cleaning method involving the use of a solvent called perchloroethylene, commonly known as perc. And, there seems to be an increasing number of lawsuits stemming from environmental problems associated with historic dry cleaning operations utilizing this chemical.
