I found this interesting passage in the Economist (16-22 March 1991):

"As well as being a carcinogen, dioxin has been described by one expert
as a "litigen" because of the havoc it could cause in litigious America."

I can think of a few more "litigens" that are already causing some grief;
overlapping windows, gabage cans, look and feel etc.
