9. The article is ambiguous.

According to the article Jame Swetz, the company's lawyer said that their position was that it applies to the whole family.

However, the company later said that it doesn't apply to the children.

However, once that gag order came to light, two years after the August 2011 proceedings, the company told reporters it did not agree with Swetz's comments. "We don't believe the settlement applies to children," a Range Resources spokesman told the Gazette. He went on to tell the paper that there was no evidence that the Hallowich family was affected by exposure to gas development.


This article just muddies the situation.

Anyone have any more recent information on this affair?

I find these types of agreements to be very troubling.
