"The Alabama Supreme Court dealt a significant blow to the Gadsden water utility’s PFAS lawsuit Friday, dismissing the utility’s claims against DuPont, one of the largest chemical companies in the world, as well as others.

However, the court did not dismiss the suit against several other defendants.

In 2023, the Water Works and Sewer Board of the City of Gadsden filed a lawsuit against numerous companies, including DuPont de Nemours, Inc., and several affiliated entities; chemical manufacturer Daikin America; and several waste management companies."
