Howard Erichson was quoted in a Wall Street Journal article about a proposed settlement between DuPont and plaintiffs over claims that thousands of people were exposed to PFOA (a chemical used in Teflon) in drinking water.
“The fact that DuPont was willing to put up real money for settlement of these claims has to be a shot in the arm for plaintiffs’ lawyers pursuing similar claims elsewhere,” said Howard Erichson, a law professor at Fordham University School of Law.
He cautioned that residents had yet to approve the settlement in principle between lawyers representing them and DuPont.
