 "lead_sentence_basis": "No US or EU law makes PFAS cooling fluids illegal in 2026. 3M's exit is a supply fact (3M, 20 Dec 2022: 'discontinue manufacturing all fluoropolymers, fluorinated fluids, and PFAS-based additive products' by end of 2025). The EU universal restriction: RAC final opinion 2 March 2026, SEAC draft opinion consulted 26 March–25 May 2026, SEAC final expected end-2026, then a Commission decision — not in force. Minnesota and Maine: intentionally added PFAS prohibited in nearly all products from 2032 unless currently unavoidable. The 'LLMs leak data' half belongs to the inference company.",
