WILLIAMSON – The wife of a late Mingo County man has sued a Kentucky insulation company and a manufacturer after a barrel exploded and killed him.
Debrah Canterbury filed her complaint April 7 against Reed’s Sprayfoam Insulation Inc., Jenna Reed, Tim Reed Inc. and Southwest Distributing Company doing business as SWD Urethane. Canterbury filed the complaint as executrix of the estate of Watson Canterbury Jr. Reed’s Sprayfoam was based in Belfry, Kentucky, but it now is based in Williamson. SWD is based in Mesa, Arizona.
According to the complaint, Watson Canterbury traveled from his home in Delbarton on November 18, 2020, to Belfry after seeing a Facebook Marketplace advertisement by Reed’s selling used sprayfoam drums for $5 each. Canterbury purchased six drums to make “burn barrels,” which the complaint says are common in rural areas and a “reasonably foreseeable purpose.”

President Biden is taking steps to restore scientific integrity to government actions after several controversies in which advocates say science was sidestepped or ignored by the Trump administration.
Biden this week created a task force to review agency scientific integrity policies. He s also requiring that all federal research agencies have a chief science officer, and that all agencies have a scientific integrity official.
The steps come after the Trump administration was mired in several controversies, including accusations its COVID-19 policies didn t always follow science.
