They knew what? The really important question (do these chemicals in the levels we see in the body of average Joe cause harm?) is still unknown. Yet half the population is ready to tar and feather 3M execs due to the hysteria. (Never mind that a dozen other chemical companies are still on the hook too.) Purdue pharma might not be off the hook yet (didn’t the judgment that protected them from criminal liability get reversed? I admit I don’t know as much about that case.) and did commit mass murder, but this isn’t that. We don’t know that any sizable number of people have even been harmed by these yet, that’s my point. What does one evil corporation have to do with an entirely related other one? Are we supposed to just jail the execs of any corporation who we think may have done something wrong just because of Purdue Pharma? We know PFAs and the like are in most people in low levels. We know there are a bunch of very weak correlations with various health defects with no indication of causality. The penalty was harsh. That’s a whopping figure even for a mega corp. I just don’t see the case for jail time here like I do with the Sacklers.
