Preliminary approval of a $54 million settlement has been given by a federal judge in order to help homeowners affected by PFAS contamination in northern Kent County, Michigan. A lawsuit was filed against Wolverine Worldwide and 3M. The $54 million will be divided among four groups of property owners: those who are eligible to be connected to municipal water, those who received filters for their well-water, properties where no filtration is in place, and properties where PFAS levels tested below state standards.
Prior to the settlement, Wolverine Worldwide agreed to pay more than $69 million for homes with contaminated wells in the area to be connected to municipal water systems, and 3M agreed to pay $55 million to Wolverine Worldwide to cover its obligations.
