| Our system isn't useful Parkersburg, WV (Marketwatch) -- SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- DuPont reached a $107.6 million settlement late Monday in a West Virginia lawsuit that took the chemical giant to task for allegedly polluting local drinking water with a chemical used to make Teflon. "We are satisfied that this settlement is in the best interests of the persons who are, or were, impacted by exposure to C-8," said Harry Deitzler, a lawyer for DuPont, in a statement released by the company. DuPont said that as part of the settlement, it has agreed to remove C-8 from local water supplies and establish an independent group of experts to determine whether C-8 exposure is harmful to humans. [And who the hell are they gonna choose to be on that committee? Do you really believe they'll be unbiased? Wake up!] If any harmful link is found, DuPont agreed to provide up to $235 million to fund medical monitoring. Also as part of the settlement, DuPont said it would provide $70 million in cash for a health and education program approved by the court. Again, if they're innocent, then why pay or offer to pay for all this shit? Out of the "goodness" of their hearts? (remember, corporations aren't human; machines have no hearts) As above, so below, the same is true from a year ago: Alma-colere see that all life is equally precious. We have a responsibility to all life. Almavores simply "pay a small fee later" to avoid acting responsibly today. The damage is, by then, already done. The Almavore simply moves on to its next target. (overpopulation...overextension...lack of care, lack of quali-tea...the Almavore continues to spread its horror throughout the land...) |
| DuPont settles Teflon pollution lawsuit By Jim Jelter, MarketWatch / Mar 1, 2005 |
| Reading between the lines: The company, which has denied any wrongdoing, said in September it would try to settle the case to avoid lengthy and costly litigation. [no wrongdoing? Then why pay? And why "clean up the damage done"? That's 100% good old-fashioned bull shit, my friends.] The class-action suit was filed against Wilmington, Del.-based DuPont in 2001 after residents near the Washington Water Works in Parkersburg, W.Va., said their drinking water contained traces of perfluorooctanoic acid, also known as PFOA or C-8. Perfluoroctanoic acid is one of the chemicals that DuPont uses to make Teflon, a non-stick surface coating best known for its use on cookware. DuPont shares, a Dow Jones Industrial Average component, hit an early session high of $54.26 on Tuesday before backing off to close at $53.88, up 58 cents, or 1.1 percent. [That's the kicker for me! No one knows; no one cares; profits go through the roof; people get sick, but the corporation "lives" on.] |
