Chemours Co. claims its former parent DuPont Inc.’s estimates on liabilities the spun-off company should cover were “spectacularly wrong’’ and wants a judge to block the chemical maker’s requests for “unlimited indemnity.’’
A Delaware judge on Friday unsealed a lawsuit Chemours filed last month, taking issue with the amount of liability it assumed for clean-up demands tied to DuPont products such as PFOA, a cancer-linked chemical formerly used to make Teflon nonstick coatings and other products.
