Over the past two years, DuPont has paid $9 million to Michael Rozen and his New York City settlement firm to administer the C-8 Medical Monitoring Program, according to a series of invoices just released. Meanwhile, the Program has only paid out $50,233.26 for medical claims, or 0.02% of the Medical Monitoring Program’s $235 million fund.

Michael Rozen and his firm, Feinberg Rozen, claim to be an independent third party. But he’s paid by DuPont, and the details of his contract are a secret from the public.

Feinberg Rozen has been accused of similar misrepresentation before. In February 2011 a federal judge ordered the firm to stop representing itself as a neutral party to victims of the BP Deepwater Horizon spill, when it was really representing BP.

“I question why Rozen has been paid so handsomely by DuPont to accomplish so little in the way of providing medical monitoring to the individuals that qualify for it.”

“For [Mr. Rozen] to claim that he is independent at this point reminds me of the fox guarding the hen house. It's disingenuous, and the exposed individuals deserve better.”
