PFAS Chemicals? Hold
Polluters Accountable
PFAS, or Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances, also known as “forever chemicals,” are a group of synthetic chemicals used in various industrial and consumer products. PFAS gained widespread popularity for their unique properties, such as heat, water and grease resistance. Some studies have concluded that around 98% of Americans have detectable levels of PFAS in their bloodstream.
The infiltration of PFAS into our daily lives has gone unnoticed, but the health risks are very real. These persistent chemicals can be found in:
Consumer products
Industrial products
PFAS gained widespread popularity for their unique properties, such as heat, water and grease resistance. In addition to industrial jobs that are regularly exposed to PFAS like firefighters and military personnel, PFAS are also used in a large number of household products.
Who Is At Risk Of Developing Health Problems?
Unfortunately, PFAS contamination is widespread, and virtually everyone is at some level of risk for exposure. However, certain groups are at higher risk:
Firefighters Who Have Used Afff Firefighting Foam

DuPont And The Teflon Controversy
One of the earliest and most well-known PFAS lawsuits involved the chemical giant DuPont and its production of Teflon. It was revealed that DuPont had knowingly discharged PFAS chemicals into the environment, leading to widespread contamination of water sources and communities. In 2004, a class-action lawsuit was filed for residents near DuPont's Washington Works plant in West Virginia. This lawsuit exposed the health risks associated with PFAS exposure, resulting in a multimillion-dollar settlement.
Minnesota vs. 3M
The state of Minnesota took legal action against the multinational conglomerate 3M for its role in PFAS contamination. 3M had manufactured PFAS-containing products for decades, and it was discovered that these chemicals had seeped into the environment, affecting numerous communities. In 2018, Minnesota secured a $850 million settlement from 3M to address the impact of PFAS contamination on its residents and natural resources.
Military Bases and PFAS Contamination
One of the most alarming aspects of the PFAS lawsuit history has been the revelation of extensive contamination around military bases. PFAS-containing firefighting foam used in training exercises led to groundwater and soil contamination near these bases. Lawsuits against the U.S. Department of Defense and military contractors have highlighted the urgent need for cleanup and compensation for affected communities and military personnel.
Expanding Legal Actions
As awareness of PFAS contamination has grown, so too have legal actions. Communities and individuals affected by PFAS exposure have filed lawsuits against various responsible parties, including chemical manufacturers, firefighting foam producers, and public water authorities. These lawsuits seek to hold those responsible accountable for the health problems and environmental damage caused by PFAS.
Ongoing Legal Battles
While significant progress has been made in addressing PFAS contamination through legal means, many legal battles are still ongoing. New cases continue to emerge, and advocacy groups are working tirelessly to push for stricter regulations and accountability for PFAS pollution. The PFAS lawsuit history is a testament to the resilience and determination of those seeking justice in the face of a widespread environmental crisis.
