According to an Environmental Working Group press release, in 2002, DuPont destroyed scientific evidence relevant to PFOA-related litigation brought against the company by 3,000 West Virginia and Ohio residents. In 2007, the Environmental Working Group released an analysis of the EPA’s risk assessment of Teflon. According to the EPA, approximately 95 percent of Americans are carrying C-8 in their bloodstreams at any given time. The C-8 in Teflon can cause a myriad of deadly ailments: heart attacks, stroke, various forms of cancer, immune system damage, and pituitary gland damage. C-8, the Teflon chemical, provides an elevated risk of so many deadly ailments, and with the many internal and external studies performed on C-8, DuPont had to have known about its potential dangers. One needs to seriously ask if Teflon is a killer and if DuPont is to blame.
