Good ole Teflon is in the news again!

April 21, 2006, 5 Billion Dollar Class Action Suit Filed against Dupont

Owners of Teflon-coated pots and pans in 15 states want to have their cases combined in a $5 billion class-action lawsuit alleging that
DuPont Co. failed to disclose possible health risks from using the nonstick cookware.

The lawsuits claim that DuPont for years told the government and consumers that Teflon was safe although its own studies showed the material could become toxic
when heated "enough to fry an egg," according to Des Moines lawyer Kim Baer, who represents six plaintiffs from Iowa.

The Chemical in Teflon, PFOA, is now classified with Lead, Mercury, PCB's and other dangerous toxins by the EPA.

Finally, after 2 1/2 years the EPA has finally decided that the Chemical in Teflon and stainmaster carpet known as PFOA should be banned. They are now classifying it right along with lead, mercury, PCB's, and other toxic substances. Studies show PFOA is in the blood of nearly every person in the US. It takes 10 years or more for the chemical to get out of our bodies and out of the environment. Finally it was announced that by 2010 all PFOA will no longer be used for things like Stainmaster carpet, Teflon pots & pans, or waterproofing clothing such as Gore-Tex. This eliminates 95% of the chemicals use. The year 2015 is the deadline to remove virtually 100% of it out of things like emissions during the manufacture of certain prod

DuPont Pays Heavy Price For Teflon Cover-Up

Dec 2005 Du Pont Co. has reached a settlement with federal officials over the charges that DuPont had concealed the harmful health effects of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), a chemical used to produce Teflon.

As Much as $313 Million Neither DuPont nor the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have disclosed the terms of the deal. The agency could have fined the company as much as $313 million.

Concealed for 20 Years The EPA has alleged that DuPont covered up important information about health effects and water supply pollution for 20 years. Environmental groups have asked federal officials to impose substantial fines on DuPont for failing to tell the government that PFOA can pass from a mother's blood to her fetus. The chemical has been linked to both cancer and birth defects in animal studies.

DuPont Argues No Harm DuPont of course has maintained that PFOA has no negative health effects. Earlier this year, DuPont settled a class-action lawsuit over the issue for $107.6 million.

In addition to the civil suit DuPont has just settled, there is an ongoing criminal investigation of its actions regarding PFOA pollution.
