Forever Chemicals (PFAS) Linked to Cancers

Overview of the Case
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), often referred to as "forever chemicals," are synthetic compounds used in various industrial and consumer products since the 1950s. Due to their strong carbon-fluorine bonds, PFAS are resistant to degradation, leading to persistent environmental and human health concerns. These substances have been found in drinking water sources, soil, and even human blood samples across the United States.
Legal actions have been initiated against manufacturers and users of PFAS-containing products, alleging negligence and failure to warn the public about the associated risks. Notably, firefighting foams containing PFAS have been a significant source of contamination, leading to numerous lawsuits and substantial settlements.
Common Sources of PFAS Exposure
- Drinking water contaminated by industrial run-off
- Firefighting foam (Aqueous Film-Forming Foam, or AFFF), widely used at military bases and airports
- Food packaging with grease-resistant coatings
- Household products such as nonstick cookware, waterproof clothing, and stain-resistant carpets
Health Risks Associated with PFAS Exposure
Exposure to PFAS has been linked to several adverse health outcomes, including:
- Kidney and testicular cancers
- Liver damage
- Thyroid disease
- Immune system effects
- Developmental issues in infants and children
- Increased cholesterol levels
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has recognized the potential health risks of PFAS and has taken steps to regulate their presence in drinking water.
Eligibility for Filing a PFAS Lawsuit
Individuals and entities may be eligible to file a PFAS lawsuit if they have:
- Been diagnosed with health conditions linked to PFAS exposure
- Resided or worked in areas with known PFAS contamination
- Consumed water from sources later found to be contaminated with PFAS
- Incurred expenses related to medical treatment or property decontamination
It's important to consult with a knowledgeable attorney to assess the specifics of your situation and determine eligibility.
