Ohio Jury Hits DuPont with $2M Ruling over Teflon-making Chemical

A U.S. jury in Ohio ordered DuPont to pay $2 million to a man who said he developed testicular cancer from exposure to a toxic chemical leaked from one of the company’s plants, according to the plaintiff’s lawyer Robert Bilott. The federal jury also found DuPont acted with actual malice, raising the possibility of punitive damages, Bilott said.
