"Landmark U.S. Court Ruling Denies Massive Class Action Against 'Forever Chemicals' Manufacturer (NYSE:MMM)"

The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has overturned a lower court's ruling that would have allowed nearly 12 million Ohio residents to sue 3M, DuPont, Corteva, Chemours, and other manufacturers of "forever chemicals" in a class action lawsuit. The court stated that the lead plaintiff had filed a complaint that was too broad and failed to establish a direct link between the chemicals found in his body and the companies. The lawsuit aimed to make the companies pay for studies on the health impacts of the chemicals, and it is one of many similar cases filed against these manufacturers in recent years.
