3M, DuPont tick lower after NY lawsuit over PFAS pollution

Shares of 3M Company, DuPont de Nemours Inc., Corteva Inc., and The Chemours Company declined following a lawsuit filed by New York Attorney General Letitia James. The lawsuit accuses these companies of contributing to decades of PFAS pollution in New York through consumer products, alleging they knew about the chemicals' toxicity, deceived consumers, and failed to provide warnings. James seeks funding for environmental cleanup, a halt to sales of unwarned PFAS products, and financial penalties.
