Municipalities Settle PFAS Claims for $10.5 Billion
Municipalities and water authorities are seeking a settlement with 3M worth $10.5 to $12.5 billion to resolve allegations of contaminating drinking water with PFAS substances. This settlement, part of a class settlement with public water systems, does not cover potential personal injury or public nuisance liability. The U.S. Court of Appeals affirmed that Petrelios de Venezuela SA is still recognized as an alter ego of the Republic of Venezuela, allowing creditors to pursue assets in the United States.

SBB Financial Group sells its investment business to management investors, with the closing expected in the third quarter. Bed Bath and Beyond confirms Dremon Meat Industries' acquisition of Buybuy Baby's intellectual property for $15.5 million.
