The future of DuPont Co. spinoff Chemours Corp. might hinge on an Ohio woman, who blames the chemical giant for her kidney cancer and says words of the company’s own lawyers support her claim. Bloomberg Reports.
Carla Marie Bartlett, 59, is one of 3,500 people who sued DuPont, claiming they got sick or had a family member die because C-8 — a chemical DuPont used in the making of Teflon at a West Virginia plant — got into drinking water and spilled across the border into Ohio.
As her case, the first to go to trial, began Tuesday, lawyers said they had a trail of internal documents that showed DuPont knew of the chemical’s dangers while it misled regulators and the public.
