St. Paul, Minnesota-based 3M announced this week that last year’s lawsuit settlement received final approval from the U.S. District Court in Charleston, South Carolina.
The agreement called for payouts through 2036. Depending on what additional contamination is found, the amount paid out will range from $10.5 billion to $12.5 billion.
“This is yet another important step forward for 3M as we continue to deliver on our priorities. The final approval of this settlement and continued progress toward exiting all PFAS manufacturing by the end of 2025 will further our efforts to reduce risk and uncertainty as we move forward,” 3M’s chairman and CEO, Mike Roman, said in a news release.
