Fabiana said she didn’t just want to sue the bank, she wanted someone to take responsibility for what happened. Her opinion is no by law. Article 13,646, which prohibits the cultivation of poisonous plants in public places such as squares and parks, will be reinstated to protect children and livestock. This law was repealed by Law No. 17,794.
“We now want to reinstate this law because São Paulo is full of this plant. It is a cheap plant, requires no maintenance, and is highly toxic. This process has given us more strength to continue fighting for the law,” he said.
Additionally, the designers call for oversight of these types of plants, “even if they are created by residents themselves.” It is important to her that signs are required to be put up so that others do not experience what she experienced with Pudding.
