PFAS claim qualifying health risks.

Health risks allegedly linked to PFAS contamination

PFAS claim qualifying health risks.

Exposure to PFAS has been linked to a variety of health issues, including an increased risk of several types of cancer. Some groups of people, such as industrial workers involved in making or processing PFAS-containing materials and people who live near PFAS-producing facilities, may be more likely to experience negative health effects.

How do people get exposed to PFAS chemicals?

How do people get exposed to these chemicals?

You can be exposed to PFAS chemicals by drinking contaminated water, eating food containing them or by breathing them. If you regularly use household products made with PFAS, you can be exposed.

PFAS have been found in soil and water, leading to widespread ecological damage. Wildlife exposed to PFAS in their environments also suffer harm to their health, and that disrupts ecosystems and goes up the food chain.

Types of cancer that may be related to PFAS.

Types of cancer that may be related to PFAS

Studies have investigated how PFAS disrupt the way cells use energy, how they interfere with DNA and how they change cell immunity. These may contribute to various kinds of cancer, including:

  • Kidney cancer
  • Testicular cancer

Companies involved in PFAS lawsuits

Companies involved in PFAS lawsuits.

Four chemical companies are the major manufacturers and marketers of PFAS. They are all very large, international companies with billions of dollars in revenue.

  • 3M: This company manufactures PFAS and has agreed to pay water authorities $10.3 billion for polluting waterways, though it has yet to admit liability.
  • DuPont: This company also produces and uses PFAS. They have joined with their two spin-off companies below to pay over $1 billion in claims.
  • Chemours: Once part of DuPont, this spin-off company has an annual revenue of $5.8 billion. It is part of the DuPont claims settlement.
  • Corteva: Another DuPont spin-off, this company posts revenues of $17.2 billion. It is also part of the DuPont settlement.

Your health problems and cancer due to your PFAS exposure may have led to medical expenses, lost wages and suffering. You may be able to hold the companies who make these chemicals responsible for your losses. In addition to getting justice and potential financial compensation for you, these lawsuits raise public awareness of the dangers of PFAS. They also can pressure governments to put stricter regulations on harmful chemicals, like PFOS and PFOA, in place.

FAQs

  • What is the PFAS lawsuit about?

    While useful in industrial, household and personal products, exposure to PFAS chemicals has been linked to a number of serious health problems. They are often called “forever chemicals,” because they don’t break down. They are a threat to health that could last for hundreds of years.

    Current lawsuits are focused on drinking water contaminated by PFAS, like one filed by California water utilities in April 2024. Additional current lawsuits have been filed by individuals affected by film-forming foams used to fight fires, resulting in personal injury, property damage and economic losses.

  • Are PFAS chemicals banned?

    PFAS are in general use in thousands of products. Government regulators have been slow to ban their use. PFAS can no longer be used in food wrappers as a grease blocker. Popcorn bags, fast-food wraps, take-out containers and pet food bags can no longer contain PFAS as of February 2024.

    New limits have been put on non-stick pans, gaskets used in food processing equipment and food manufacturing aids. As of July 2021, rugs and carpets treated with PFAS cannot be sold in California. Connecticut has further bans. California and New York ban PFAS on apparel and other textiles, effective January 2025.
