A federal lawsuit has been filed against the chemical company Dupont
by residents of West Virginia after being poisoned with a chemical
called C8. The plaintiffs seek damages from Dupont for contaminating
their drinking water.
DuPont has a habit of poisoning people – as many chemical companies do. The company has been sued
hundreds of times for contamination both the environment and humankind.
The chemical C8 is used to make the product Teflon, which can cause
liver, prostate, and testicular cancer. Dupont was aware of this danger
for a long time, but continued to use it in the manufacturing of
products anyway.
As early as the 1950s, Dupont knew just how dangerous C8 could be to
human beings. In the name of profit, white collar criminals decided to
ignore the facts.
DuPont dumped C8 chemicals into two local aquifers, whereupon West Virginia residents have been drinking the poisoned water for years.
