Ohio Water
Bottled water provided to residents in Ohio whose tap water was tainted with a chemical used to make Teflon, has tested positive for trace amounts of the same substance.
The chemical traces were discovered by a Ohio water system plant whose customers were among about 1,000 people receiving the bottled water under a 2004 lawsuit settlement with DuPont Co.
The class-action lawsuit by Ohio and West Virginia residents accused DuPont of hiding and lying about the health threat posed by perfluorooctanoic acid and its salts, known as C8, from a plant near Parkersburg, W.Va. Learn More!
