Baron & Budd Secures $380 Million Settlement With DuPont, Chemours, and Corteva Over North Carolina PFAS Contamination
Baron & Budd announced a $380 million settlement with DuPont, The Chemours Company, and Corteva on behalf of 11 North Carolina public entities to resolve claims related to PFAS contamination. The covered entities include several counties, municipalities, and the Lower Cape Fear Water and Sewer Authority.
Why it matters — A Corteva watcher would care because the settlement represents a financial resolution of PFAS-related litigation that could carry cost and liability implications for the company.
