INVISTA filed a lawsuit in federal court seeking damages and a court order requiring DuPont (DD) to fulfill its contractual obligations arising from safety and environmental noncompliance while DuPont owned certain INVISTA sites.
The lawsuit describes widespread and substantial noncompliance that occurred at the manufacturing facilities during DuPont's ownership and seeks compensatory damages in excess of $800 million, plus punitive damages.
INVISTA is also seeking punitive damages from DuPont because DuPont knew of several of the more dangerous safety and environmental violations, knew those violations placed its employees and the public at risk, took no action to rectify them, and failed to disclose them to INVISTA.
