The lawsuit accuses the warehouse's owners and tenants of negligence in connection with the storage of hazardous and flammable materials.
Los Angeles County filed a lawsuit Thursday accusing property owners and tenants of negligence in connection with a warehouse fire that sent discharge into the Dominguez Channel last year, causing a sickening odor to linger in the Carson area for weeks and displacing thousands of residents.
The warehouse on South Avalon Boulevard in Carson is owned by Prologis Inc. and was leased at the time of the fire by makeup companies Virgin Scent Inc. and Day to Day Imports Inc. Day to Day and Virgin Scent are owned and operated by Akiva Nourollah, Yosef Nourollah, Yehuda Nourollah and Yaakov Nourollah, according to the complaint.
In May, the fire protection district inspected the Carson warehouse and cited Day to Day again with improper storage of hazardous materials including essential oils and hand sanitizer. Weeks later, on the afternoon of Sept. 30, the fire started, “fueled by over ten million pounds of flammable and hazardous materials that were illicitly stored there,” according to the complaint.
In early October, residents of the area started reporting the odor of rotten eggs, sewage and vomit emanating from channel. The odor caused nausea, vomiting and headaches and was deemed a public health nuisance.
