Recent Wall Street Journal reports regarding lead-clad cables.
In July 2023, The Wall Street Journal published a series of articles alleging that lead-clad telecommunications cables are a public-health hazard. We anticipate that, in light of these assertions, we may be subject to litigation, government investigations and potentially new regulation or legislation relating to lead-clad cables. We may incur significant expenses defending such suits or government actions or complying with any new regulation or legislation, and may be required to spend amounts that are material to AT&T.
