Teflon coating has been a popular advertising factor for many cookware industries since the invention of the miracle non-stick surface coat. Little did the public know that the amazing substance was carcinogenic and allowed for multiple respiratory hazards, as the toxic fumes rose from the heating hardware. Now over 10 million Teflon cookware users have been represented in a federal multidistrict litigation against DuPont.
The first action of this mass of individuals is aimed at Des Moines, Iowa where class certification is to hopefully be granted to the plaintiffs. 14 Des Moines class actions have already been consolidated and transferred to 12 other states. The original class action cases for the Teflon inflection were filed in California, Florida, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Texas.
If you or someone you know has been injured by Teflon coating or if you have encounted another example of product liability, please contact a personal injury lawyer such as Jim S. Adler & Associates of Dallas, Texas.
