3M to pay $7.35 billion to settle PFAS injury claims

Original: 3M to pay $7.35 billion to settle PFAS-related personal injury claims Industrial conglomerate 3M has committed nearly $7

Industrial conglomerate 3M has agreed to pay about $7.35 billion over nine years to settle personal injury claims tied to PFAS, the so-called 'forever chemicals' linked to health problems. The settlement covers people who say they were harmed by exposure to the chemicals, which have been widely used in products and have contaminated water supplies across the United States.

Why now: The scale of the settlement makes it one of the largest payouts yet over PFAS contamination, a major ongoing legal and public health issue.
