  • The Bhopal disaster, also known as the Bhopal gas tragedy, was a chemical accident that occurred at the Union Carbide India Limited (UCIL) pesticide plant in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India, on the night of December 2-3, 1984. Over 500,000 people in the small towns surrounding the plant were exposed to the highly toxic gas methyl isocyanate, which is considered the world's worst industrial disaster (MIC). Death toll estimates vary, but the official number of immediate deaths is 2,259.
  • The owner of the factory, UCIL, was majority owned by the Union Carbide Corporation (UCC) of the United States, with Indian government-controlled banks and the Indian public holding a 49.1 percent stake. UCC paid $470 million (equivalent to $871 million in 2020) to settle the disaster-related litigation in 1989.
  • Between 1986 and 2012, civil and criminal cases filed in the United States against UCC and Warren Anderson, UCC's CEO at the time of the disaster, were dismissed and redirected to Indian courts on multiple occasions, owing to the US courts' focus on UCIL being a separate entity of India
