KUNC reported on the Occupational Safety and Health Administration citations and nearly $250,000 in proposed fines issued after six workers died from hydrogen sulfide exposure at a Weld County dairy in 2025. Sam Cannon told the outlet that while the investigation is a significant first step, many critical questions remain about why the manure system
malfunctioned and how the deadly gas release occurred. Attorney Ryan Spear, who is working alongside Sam to represent the families, noted that although the six-figure fines are unusual, they cannot compare to the loss of life and the families’ priority is ensuring similar tragedies do not happen again. Both attorneys said the families are seeking answers and accountability as investigations and potential civil claims move forward.
