"St. Louis, MO (KSDK) - A St. Louis City jury awarded $38.5 million to 16 people from Herculaneum who grew up near the town's lead production plant.

The plaintiffs claimed they were exposed to dangerous lead levels from the smelter between 1986 and 1994. That $38.5 million verdict was for compensatory damages only. At 8 a.m. Friday morning, there will be a hearing about what the amount of the punitive damages should be."
