Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a lawsuit against major chemical manufacturers 3M and DuPont on Dec. 11, alleging that the companies misled consumers for decades about the safety of widely used per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, known as PFAS chemicals.

Because most PFAS chemicals don’t break down, they are often called “forever chemicals.”
