New York Sues PFAS Giants | New York City News

Published 1 week, 1 day ago
Description

New York is suing major chemical giants like 3M, DuPont, Chemours, and Corteva over toxic “forever chemicals” called PFAS, demanding they stop selling contaminated products without warning labels and pay for cleanup and damages. For decades, these companies allegedly knew PFAS were hazardous — even detecting them in employee blood as early as the 1970s — yet continued using them in everything from nonstick pans and food packaging to firefighter foam. With communities bearing the brunt of pollution and health costs, the state is pushing for accountability, calling on corporations to finally face the consequences for decades of environmental harm.
