Il est vrai que c’est tentant, reste toutefois l’incertitude des procès en cours (qui pourraient durer quelques années selon ce que je lis).

3M (NYSE:MMM) lost its effort to block more than 230,000 lawsuits accusing it of injuring U.S. soldiers

The court decision disrupts 3M’s plan to settle the lawsuits with a bankruptcy filing for Aearo. The strategy would help to avoid thousands of trials throughout the country. The legal battles could cost 3M as much as $100 billion and drive the manufacturer into bankruptcy

Juries so far have awarded more than $265 million in compensatory and punitive damages in 16 trials, with plaintiffs winning 10. A federal judge said 3M (MMM) hadn’t indicated during the trials « that any entity other than itself was responsible » for the claims.

3M a l’intention de faire appel sur ces « premiers » jugements.
