Balanced News: After years of pressure, 3M will stop making ‘forever chemicals’

In the face of continued legal action from states across the country, 3M, a Fortune 500 manufacturing company, will discontinue the use of “forever chemicals” by 2025. PFAS has been found in nearly every state in the country and in everything from polar bears to fast food wrappers. California announced a lawsuit in November that alleges 3M, DuPont, and other PFAS producers have caused far-reaching damage to public health and the environment by dealing in products laced with “forever chemicals.”
