In 2005 DuPont settled a class action lawsuit with Valley water consumers for more than $200 million, and the EPA has called for a global phase-out of C8 involving eight companies. As a local journalist, Lyons has covered the C8 issue from the beginning.
This is the first book to reveal, in riveting detail, the story of how a little-known chemical compound called C8, manufactured by DuPont for use in making many common consumer products-among them, Teflon cookware and stain-resistant carpeting-has come to pose a threat to the health of people, animals, and the environment.
