3M was scheduled to face trial on Monday against the City of Stuart, Florida. It was not immediately clear whether the trial will proceed. 3M has said in court documents that PFAS have not been linked with health problems at the levels being discovered in drinking water. 3M in December set a 2025 deadline to stop producing PFAS - used in everything from cell phones to semiconductors - amid increasing legal scrutiny on the substances that are commonly called “forever chemicals” because they do not easily break down in the human body or environment.
