After an apartment was sprayed with the pesticide Dursban, the Neals' infant son died of a brain tumor, and their expert testified that Dursban exposure more likely than not caused the tumor, citing four studies; the trial court found the cited studies actually described the data as inconclusive and called for further research, and excluded the testimony before granting summary judgment to Dow.
