CA-AG v. 3M Company

3M allegedly contaminated Americans’ drinking water supply through its use of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances in a wide range of consumer products and firefighting foams. According to CA-AG, PFAS can cause serious health impacts and have been frequently detected in water systems nationwide. The proposed settlement contains an indemnification clause, which shifts liability from 3M to water suppliers bound by settlement.
