"Chemical and manufacturing giant 3M and a broad coalition of U.S. cities and
towns have reached a landmark, $10.3 billion settlement over the company’s use
of so-called “forever chemicals,” or PFAS, long linked to cancer and other
major health issues.
If approved by a judge, it will be among the biggest mass tort deals in
history.
The settlement comes after thousands of plaintiffs sued 3M for allegedly
contaminating municipal drinking water supplies with PFAS — contamination, the
parties allege, the company allowed for decades despite knowing as early as the
1970s that the chemicals were harmful to human and environmental health."
