[1/2] The 3M Global Headquarters in Maplewood, Minnesota, U.S. is photographed on March 4, 2020. 3M was scheduled to face trial in South Carolina federal court on Monday in a lawsuit brought by the Florida city accusing the company of manufacturing PFAS, or per- and polyflouroalkyl substances, despite knowing for decades that the chemicals can cause cancer and other ailments. The company and lawyers for the city did not immediately respond to requests for comment. 3M announced in December that it would stop producing PFAS by 2025, amid increased legal and regulatory scrutiny. Bloomberg News reported last Friday that 3M had struck a tentative $10 billion deal with U.S. cities and towns to resolve the PFAS water pollution lawsuits it is facing.
