DuPont agreed to pay $27 million to settle a class action lawsuit alleging the company contaminated drinking water in Hoosick Falls, New York with PFOA (perfluorooctanoic acid), a hazardous chemical used in Teflon production. Residents claimed exposure through municipal water systems and private wells negatively impacted their health and property values. Three classes of residents were eligible: those requiring medical monitoring due to elevated blood PFOA levels, municipal water property owners who purchased before December 2015, and private well property owners whose wells tested positive for PFOA contamination.
