NY AG Sues 5 Chemical Giants Over PFAS | Rochester News

New York’s Attorney General is launching a major legal strike against five chemical giants—3M, DuPont, and others—for knowingly polluting the state with toxic “forever chemicals” like PFAS, found in everyday products from Teflon to carpets. The lawsuit demands cleanup costs, penalties, and mandatory product warnings, citing decades of cover-ups, including DuPont’s 1981 discovery of birth defects in exposed workers. These chemicals infiltrate water systems through routine activities, evade filtration, and now contaminate 96% of tested groundwater. With healthcare costs projected at $4.4 billion and $100M already spent on emergency cleanups, the state is holding these companies accountable—while they’ve quietly defended their products’ safety.
