Suit Filed Against 11 Corporations Steve Ivlocvcic, who used to be a machinist and tool and die maker, filed the benzene suit against 11 different corporations. “Steve did not know the products he was exposed to at work contained benzene, or that benzene could cause acute myelogenous leukemia, until he saw the facts in a television advertisement,” explains the suit.

Among the other defendants are BP Products North America Inc., BP Amoco Chemical Company and Exxon Corporation.
