Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Commitments and Contingencies | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES From time to time, we are a party to legal proceedings, whether arising in the ordinary course of business or otherwise. Some of these proceedings are summarized below. PFAS Lawsuit In April 2025, The Water Works Board of the City of Opelika, Alabama filed a lawsuit in the Circuit Court of Lee County, Alabama, The Water Works of the City of Opelika, Alabama, v. 3M Company, et al., Case No. 43-CV-2025-900229.00, against Interface, Inc., our subsidiary InterfaceFLOR, LLC, and numerous other defendants. The lawsuit alleges that the defendants, including Interface, manufactured, sold, used, and discharged per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), which have allegedly contaminated the plaintiff's water supply. The case was removed by defendant 3M Company to the United States District Court for the Middle District of Alabama, Case No. 3:25-cv-411-ECM-CWB. Subsequently, a motion was filed to transfer the case to the Multi-District Litigation (MDL) concerning Aqueous Film-Forming Foams (AFFF) Products Liability Litigation, and the plaintiff filed a motion to remand the case to the Circuit Court of Lee County, Alabama. On October 9, 2025, the United States Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation issued a Transfer Order directing that the case be transferred to the District of South Carolina for inclusion in MDL No. 2873. The nature of this litigation involves complex scientific, legal and factual issues. Interface believes it has meritorious defenses to the claims brought against it, and intends to defend vigorously against them. Former CEO Lawsuit See disclosure under the heading “Lawsuit by Former CEO in Connection with Termination” set forth in Note 18 to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 2 9, 2024. On October 2, 2025, the U.S. Court of Appeals for 11 th Circuit issued its opinion affirming the District Court's summary judgment in favor of the Company.
