"3M Co., EIDP Inc., and The Chemours Co. were accused in the proposed class action of covering up the harms of PFAS chemicals they sold as carpet stain repellents.

The companies, as well as Daikin America Inc.—which isn’t a defendant—"have not paid a dime for the grievous harms caused by carpets in homes and day-care centers infused with PFAS, and none of them has offered to replace any carpets treated with PFAS-infused products,” according to the complaint filed Friday in the US District Court for the District of Minnesota."
