Paxton’s office has accused 3M and DuPont of misrepresenting or concealing the health risks of PFAS, which have been sold for decades for use in consumer products.

Attorney General Ken Paxton speaks at the 2024 Texas GOP Convention in San Antonio on May 23, 2024. Paxton's office has sued two major manufacturers of "forever chemicals" used in many consumer products, accusing them of failing to warn the public of the chemicals' health dangers.

Daniel Turner, a spokesperson for DuPont, said in an email that the company has never manufactured PFOA and PFOS — two types of PFAS chemicals — or firefighting foam. "I was over the moon. It's a legal issue and he's our top lawyer for the state so I am very encouraged to see that he has taken this action," Ames said.
