For those who aren't clicking without some context: DuPont has known since the 60s that C8, or PFOA[0], a chemical used in the production of Teflon, is harmful to humans even in tiny amounts. It has knowingly concealed and lied about the harm both to its employees and everybody else, and it has continuously released it into the environment while doing all that it can to avoid taking responsibility for the harms it has caused.
The linked article is the first in a series of three that take an in-depth look at the situation, the harms, and the lack of consequences for the company until now. I expect there to be more follow-up articles as there are some lawsuits now in progress with lawyers who are armed with internal documents showing that DuPont knew about the problems for decades.
