New York sues 3M, others over firefighting foam

NEW YORK (Reuters) - New York has filed a lawsuit seeking to recoup more than $38 million from 3M Co and five other companies to cover the cost of cleaning up environmental contamination caused by toxic chemicals in firefighting foam that they manufactured.

Governor Andrew Cuomo and Attorney General Barbara Underwood announced the lawsuit on Wednesday, and said it was the first of its type by a U.S. state.
