Former 3M scientist who made unsettling PFAS discovery says bosses deceived her
Gee – What a surprise… When a former 3M scientist discovered the company’s chemicals were in human blood in the general population, she says her bosses misled her to believe it was harmless.
3M accused of deceiving its own scientist about PFAS in human blood
Hansen believed it was the first time the Minnesota-based manufacturer became aware of the “alarming” discovery.
It was not.
More than 20 years earlier, a pair of independent scientists had already alerted 3M that they had found evidence of PFAS chemicals in human blood – and that the company’s blockbuster product, Scotchgard, was a likely source of the contamination, according to an internal memo.
When Hansen told her bosses about her findings, she said, “the attitude was like, ‘it’s unfortunate, but it’s okay – it’s not going to cause harm to anyone.’”
Hansen was 28-years-old at the time and recently told the FOX 9 Investigators her bosses at 3M deceived her.
“I was being told by some of the highest-ranking people in the company that there was nothing to worry about,” Hansen said.
She believed them until a landmark civil lawsuit filed by the State of Minnesota in 2018 unearthed scores of company documents surrounding PFAS chemicals.
Hansen said she was “horrified that there was that evidence of a cover-up.”
