What happened
3M announced a PFAS personal injury settlement on November 3, 2026, focused on the AFFF litigation in South Carolina. Its SEC filing describes a $7.35 billion commitment from 2026 through 2034, subject to participation conditions. People joining must enroll and release their PFAS personal injury claims and certain related claims. The agreement is not an admission of liability. This agreement is separate from its earlier public-water-system settlement.
Event date:
Why it matters for claimants
Ask your lawyer whether your claim can take part and what the release covers. The company’s total commitment is not an individual award or a personal payment date.
