Wisconsin reaches $10M settlement with Tyco, Johnson Controls over PFAS contamination
4 Jun 2026
News, Marinette County
Gov. Tony Evers announced the state’s first settlement with a Marinette manufacturer of firefighting foam over alleged violations of the state’s spills law for failing to report PFAS contamination.
Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul said it’s one of the most significant environmental resolutions in the state’s history, as well as the largest settlement on a case handled exclusively by the state.
In March 2022, the Wisconsin Department of Justice sued Johnson Controls International, or JCI, and its subsidiary Tyco Fire Products in Marinette County Circuit Court.
