JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A Jacksonville manufacturer that produces flavors, fragrances, and cosmetic actives is at the center of a new class-action lawsuit.
Residents who live near the International Flavors and Fragrances, IFF, say they are fed up with a stinking smell that they say has been coming from the factory for years.
Imagine the smell of Pine-Sol, but magnified. That’s how some neighbors have described what they’re smelling day in, day out in Murray Hill. A woman named Erin spoke to News4Jax but declined to give her last name. She says she first noticed the smell 3 years ago.
People are coming together to celebrate while also trying to save Florida’s reef system.
“Force Blue” combines Marine Conservation and Special Operations Marine veterans. They will be hosting a virtual event called “4Hope” in an effort to help save the reef system.
The event is set to include appearances from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, NOAA and other scientists.
