PFAS (polyfluorinated alkyl substances) are toxic, widely used, long lasting chemicals which break down very slowly over time. That’s why they are called “forever chemicals”. As a result, their persistence in the environment and prevalence have contaminated drinking water throughout the U.S., including on military bases. Due to their widespread use, many PFAS are found in people’s blood. According to a new study by the U.S. Geological Survey, there are more than 12,000 types!
The defendants include corporations such as 3M Co., Chemguard Inc., DuPont, Dynax Corp., Kidde-Fenwal Inc. and National Foam Inc. Litigation has also been filed against paper mills, refineries, cosmetics businesses, packaging producers, retailers, and even fast food chains.
If you or a loved one lived or worked on a military base in the US for at least one year and suffer from any of the following medical conditions, there may be a claim for significant financial compensation. They include cancers of the bladder, breast (for males), kidney, liver, pancreas, prostate, testicular and thyroid.
