Whirlpool settles on most claims related to TCE pollution at Fort Smith plant

2015-04-18 00:12:50| Waste Management - Topix.net

Whirlpool officials said Friday they have paid more than $3 million to property owners harmed by pollution around the company's former manufacturing plant in Fort Smith, and have settled claims with all but two property owners near the plant. The company closed the refrigerator manufacturing plant in June 2012, and later that year it was made public that trichloroethyclene - a cancer-causing chemical - was found in and around the plant.
