Lawsuits accusing major chemical companies of polluting U.S. drinking water with toxic PFAS chemicals — a group of pollutants referred to as “forever chemicals” — have led to settlements worth billions of dollars, including one struck by the three companies in New Jersey last year. Payments will be made over 15 years, beginning within 30 days of the agreement’s execution, and Chemours expects to pay about $50 million over the next 12 months, Chemours said on Thursday. In line with a 2021 agreement among the companies, Chemours will bear 50% of the settlement cost, while DuPont and Corteva will split the remainder. The North Carolina agreement resolves lawsuits brought by the state and local governments excluded from the U.S. public water system class settlement approved in 2024. It also covers North Carolina’s claims over PFAS contamination unrelated to Fayetteville Works, including pollution linked to aqueous film-forming foam. Chemours said the settlement recognizes progress under its 2019 consent order with North Carolina, including investments to cut PFAS emissions and address off-site impacts Related News Axa promotes Rana Gillmon to private-equity role September 9, 2026 Global Aerospace appoints Eric Donofrio president September 9, 2026 Nationwide names former Vantage exec corporate chief risk officer September 9, 2026 It’s not unusual to get fired over insurance September 9, 2026 Employer must provide care after judge rejects idiopathic fall defense September 9, 2026 Auto parts manufacturer must face suit over worker’s son’s asbestos death September 9, 2026 Jencap buys fellow wholesaler Concorde September 9, 2026 Insurance renewal rate hikes slow further: Ivans September 9, 2026 China plans massive capital injection for insurers September 9, 2026 Facebook-f X-twitter Linkedin-in Business Insurance is a singular, authoritative news and information source for executives focused upon risk management, risk transfer and risk financing.
