Thanks! So how would you handicap this matter? I previously said 3M had a 30-40% chance of ultimately prevailing (due to their having multiple judicial shots on goal), and I posted that in light of today's news the 30-40% range may be a little low.

Anyone else reading this who has an opinion may chime in!

p.s. I'm talking about the earplug cases only, not the PFAS cases and other litigation 3M is facing.
