A New York State Supreme Court judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed by Attorney General Letitia James against PepsiCo, which accused the company of polluting the Buffalo River with single-use plastic packaging. Justice Emilio Colaiacovo criticized the lawsuit as a 'predatory' legal action that burdens the judicial system without sufficient evidence of wrongdoing. The ruling marks a significant victory for PepsiCo amidst ongoing scrutiny over plastic pollution. Meanwhile, in a separate development, the union representing over 100 workers at PepsiCo's Back of the Yards plant has initiated its own lawsuit against the company following an abrupt plant shutdown, which has left local workers in a challenging situation. Additionally, 3M is currently engaged in legal efforts to maintain a PFAS contamination lawsuit in federal court.
