Yes, absolutely true. I've re-read some of the US history, and it was much more recent (if even). The EPA put pressure on DuPont and 3M to begin a phase-out in 2002, but it wasn't until 2015 that they stopped manufacturing it... Except that they produced a new formula (Gen-X) that exists in a regulatory grey-zone that they produce as much or more of then they ever did C8. [1] Plus, DuPont spun off that division into its own separate org to shield themselves from liability. [2] What's concerning is how short both Wikipedia articles are, it tells me they've had continued success flying under the radar.
