DuPont Facing Multiple Lawsuits

The DuPont (makers of Teflon) plant in DeLisle, Mississippi has been releasing large amounts of dioxin and heavy metals for nearly 20 years. This is an excerpt from a documentary film about people in Mississippi who have become seriously ill because of the nearby plant, and how the environment too has been affected with evidence that oysters in the area exported for sale around the U.S. have been contaminated by DuPont's poisonous discharges. About 2,000 people have filed lawsuits against DuPont alleging pollution from this facility has harmed their health.
