AG Bonta, with the support of a bipartisan coalition of 20 attorneys general and nine major municipalities, today filed a motion for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction seeking to stop Corteva Inc. — now the parent company of the chemicals manufacturer historically known as DuPont — from trying to move $39 billion of its assets and value to avoid paying its liabilities.

“This family of chemical manufacturers has been constantly changing hats and engaging in a decades-long campaign of deception to evade accountability for the widespread damage they caused to our environment and public health. […] Today, we’re asking the court to immediately freeze Corteva’s assets to stop these companies’ efforts to avoid accountability. Nobody can hide from the law." – AG Bonta
