NY-AG v. 3M

3M has allegedly contaminated millions of Americans’ drinking water with per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances. According to NY-AG, 3M's initial proposed settlement would have required eligible public water systems to waive their legal claims against 3M without knowing what settlement funds they could receive, and contained provisions that could have required water providers to assume future liability, potentially leaving taxpayers to cover the costs of damages caused by 3M’s pollution.
