SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- IBM Corp. lied to employees about the hazards of working with carcinogenic chemicals that caused them to develop rare forms of cancer, a lawyer for two ex-workers alleged Tuesday in a groundbreaking case against Big Blue. Richard Alexander, who represents cancer survivors Jim Moore and Alida Hernandez, said in his opening statement that top toxicologists and oncologists, as well as IBM managers and an IBM whistleblower from France, will testify that the high-tech giant misled workers and concealed an extensive mortality database.
