 E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Co. v. Forma-Pack Inc.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
DuPont also argued that the documents and communications between its legal department and Kaplan and Kaplan were protected by the work-product doctrine because the communications were made in anticipation of litigation.
DuPont, by using its legal department as a conduit through which to route various communications, should not be given a greater privilege than a private client in a similar situation.
Corporations already have vast resources at their disposal with which to defend themselves in litigation, and we see no reason to provide them with an impenetrable shield that would afford them greater protection from discovery than that of an individual client.

DuPont officials repeatedly assured the public in 2000 and 2001 that C-8 in tap water was safe, even as their own scientists and lawyers were seriously concerned that the company lacked key studies to support the claim.
When DuPont engineers discovered in 2001 that the company's detection methods for C-8 in tap water failed to find about 80 percent of the Teflon ingredient in the water, the company withheld this critical information from local water utility officials for 3 years, and even then did not directly communicate it to them.
DuPont was well aware of the findings of the study and EPA's concerns, but still did not tell the communities with C-8 in their tap water that levels were likely 4 to 5 times higher than indicated by the data that DuPont provided to them.

At that time, the toxicity of lead had been well-established for 100 years,[4,pg.76] but a new gasoline additive was needed by the automobile and petroleum corporations and lead suited their purposes.[4,pg.6] In 1923, the automobile industry was booming.
In 1916, 3.6 million cars were registered; in 1920 the number was 9.2 million and by 1925 it would be 17.5 million.[5] Prior to 1920, Ford had grabbed the lion's share of the market by mass producing the standardized Model T but General Motors developed a successful strategy for overtaking Ford.
The NEW YORK TIMES reported that 80% of the workers at DuPont's lead plant were poisoned.[6,pg.347] These industrial poisonings created headlines nationwide and public health officials became apprehensive about the prospect of treating billions of gallons of gasoline with tons of tetraethyl lead, which would be released into the air along with the exhaust fumes.
