3M Faces $2B Lawsuit Over Toxic Foam | Australia News

Australia is suing 3M for over $2 billion, accusing the company of knowingly hiding the dangers of PFAS chemicals in firefighting foam for decades. The lawsuit targets contamination at 28 defense bases, linking the toxic substances to serious health issues and environmental damage. Evidence shows 3M was aware of risks as early as 1973, even as marketing materials claimed the products were safe. Despite warnings and inquiries dating back to 1983, sales continued — and now Australia faces a legal battle described as unprecedented in scale and complexity.
