One of the world’s largest carpet manufacturers claims it was tricked into using a group of chemicals it did not know was harmful to people and the environment.

The allegations are part of a pending lawsuit filed by Mohawk Industries, based in Dalton, Georgia, against 3M and other chemical manufacturers.
