Here’s your weekly recap—the most-viewed news stories on our site for the week ended Oct. 12, 2024.
 
DuPont announced it has filed a complaint with the United States International Trade Commission (ITC) against Xiamen Dangsheng New Materials and affiliates (“Dangs”) and Jiangsu Qingyun New Materials and affiliates (“Kingwills”), among others, to block importation of products that infringe DuPont intellectual property (IP) related to its Tyvek brand and products.

The ITC is an independent, non-partisan agency that investigates and makes determinations in proceedings involving imports claimed to injure a domestic industry or violate U.S. intellectual property rights. DuPont is asking the ITC to investigate its claims and issue a general exclusion order to bar the importation of any infringing materials into the United States. This would include all applications where the infringing material is imported as a stand-alone product or incorporated into a converted or finished good.

Meanwhile, HealthyBaby has unveiled SmartyPants, the first-ever EWG verified safe and plastic-neutral newborn diaper and diaper pants. This launch marks another step forward in HealthyBaby’s commitment to developmental health and safety, after being the first to pioneer the first EWG verified safe diaper in 2020 which is made free from 2800+ chemicals and materials linked to health harm in diapers by the Environmental Working Group.
