Paxton’s office has accused 3M and DuPont of misrepresenting or concealing the health risks of PFAS, which have been sold for decades for use in consumer products.

The Attorney General said he is investigating "a pos­si­ble con­spir­a­cy by adver­tis­ing com­pa­nies to boy­cott cer­tain social media platforms."

Attorney General Ken Paxton sued manufacturers 3M and DuPont on Wednesday for alleged deceptive trade practices by failing to disclose health risks and environmental harms associated with their products.
