Event Summary

Johnson Controls — Tyco Fire Products, a subsidiary of Johnson Controls, has reached a $10 million settlement with the state of United States — Wisconsin over widespread PFAS contamination stemming from its firefighting training center in Marinette. The lawsuit, filed by United States — Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul in 2022, alleged that Johnson Controls — Tyco Fire Products knowingly violated state law by failing to notify regulators about PFAS discharges since 2013 and not taking adequate action to remediate the contamination. Governor Tony Evers hailed the agreement as a 'historic and important milestone' in the state's efforts to ensure clean water. The $10 million will be placed into a PFAS Trust Fund for cleanup, and Johnson Controls — Tyco Fire Products also agreed to continue providing clean drinking water to affected residents and implement long-term remediation measures. Residents of Marinette, however, expressed disappointment, calling the settlement 'underwhelming' given the decades of contamination and health concerns linked to 'forever chemicals'. This settlement is one of several Johnson Controls — Tyco Fire Products has faced, including a $750 million settlement with public water systems in 2024 and a $17.5 million settlement with Peshtigo residents in 2021.
