FindLaw backs the environmental-remediation limb: CERCLA liability can pass to successor corporations. Product-liability tails and cultural debt are not covered.
“Courts have uniformly interpreted CERCLA to permit the imposition of CERCLA liabilities on successor corporations.”

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
