In 1951, DuPont began using the chemical perfluorooctanoic acid to manufacture Teflon. Due to the dangerous nature of the chemical, DuPont was given special instructions by its supplier to dispose of the chemical either by incineration or sending it to chemical waste facilities. Instead, DuPont dumped hundreds of thousands of pounds of the chemical into the Ohio River from its Parkersburg, West Virginia, plant over the span of decades. DuPont also dumped the chemical into pits, where it seeped into the drinking water of nearby communities. DuPont knew that the chemical could cause organ damage and cancer and that there were high concentrations of the chemical in the blood of the plant’s workers, but it told no one. DuPont’s practices would go on to expose thousands of unwitting people to the chemical, resulting in more than 3,500 personal injury suits to be filed against DuPont, many of which involved people who had developed cancer after being exposed. In 2017, DuPont settled these personal injury claims in a class action suit for $670 million. Not everyone who was injured by DuPont filed suit, however. The area surrounding DuPont’s West Virginia plant is very poor, and many people were afraid that too many lawsuits would force the plant to shut down and leave them without a job. What ethical challenges does a firm with such an important role in the community have? Is it easier or harder for a firm to follow the WH framework in a situation like DuPont’s?
