EPA, DuPont Settle Teflon Lawsuit

An AP newswire article, via CBS News, reports that:

Federal regulators have reached an agreement with DuPont to settle allegations the company hid information about the dangers of a toxic chemical known as C8 used in the manufacture of Teflon.

Lawyers for DuPont and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency told an administrative law judge on Nov. 23 that they had reached a final agreement, but needed more time to put together the paperwork. Judge Barbara A. Gunning then gave the parties until Jan. 13 to file the formal agreement.

Officials from both the EPA and DuPont refused to release terms of the deal.
