Chemours has assumed various liabilities arising from lawsuits against DuPont. Additionally, Chemours’ plant in Bladen County, North Carolina, was found to be dumping vast quantities of a chemical dubbed “GenX”, a precursor of Teflon, into the Cape Fear River. This story is recounted in the 2018 documentary film The Devil We Know, which centers on Parkersburg, West Virginia, where the DuPont facility that manufactured Teflon was located. The documentary follows the personal stories and tribulations of several people who worked at the Parkersburg facility.

In June 2023, Chemours (together with Dupont and Corteva) settled claims that they contaminated U.S. public water systems with toxic “forever chemicals” (PFAS) for $1.19 billion, with Chemours paying $592 million and DuPont and Corteva paying the rest. In September 2023, a court in The Netherlands declared Chemours liable for pollution caused by the Teflon producing plant in the city of Dordrecht, The Netherlands. The court stated that Chemours’ predecessor DuPont had willingly withheld crucial information between 1984 and 1998 about the harmful effects of the substances it used and emitted, which made the pollution unlawful.
