  1. They knew about PFAS danger in the 80s and look at that stock price today!

  2. Criminal. There should be jail time for this.

    If we poison people we go to jail.

    If they do it – even on a mass scale – they don’t go to jail. They just pay a fine equal to an amount less than the profit they made on their terrible act.

    The result?
    They and other industries and companies like them are given a green light to pollute and poison.

    Disgraceful.

  3. The coolest part about this is 3M also manufactures water filters to take the PFAS back out of our water supplies. 

  4. Hold it. They knew PFAS was an environmental hazard, and they still created and sold it and made a bazillion dollars? Hard to believe. Maybe we should use more of a REACH model like the EU to approve new chemistry for use.
