25 Sep 2024 --- California’s attorney general Rob Bonta is suing ExxonMobil, in what environmental campaigners are calling “the single most consequential lawsuit filed against the plastics industry” in history. The suit alleges that through decades of negligence and intentional misinformation, the petrochemical giant caused and concealed serious harm to public and environmental health throughout the state. A trial is demanded for claims including causing public nuisance, water pollution, misleading or untrue advertising, misleading environmental marketing, and unfair, unlawful or fraudulent business practices.
