As of May 31, 2023:
The Washington State Attorney General's Office announced an
environmental lawsuit against numerous manufacturers of PFAS,
commonly referred to as “forever chemicals.” The lawsuit asserts these
companies knew for decades about the serious risks these chemicals posed
to humans and the environment. The companies likely made many millions
in profit while actively deceiving the public.Per- and polyfluoralkyl substances, known as PFAS, have been used for
decades to create water-resistant substances. In recent years, state
and federal regulators have begun to impose more stringent restrictions
on PFAS and expand testing requirements. Exposure to PFAS has been
linked to several types of cancer, infertility, and developmental issues
in children, among other health concerns.The lawsuit, filed in King County Superior Court,
relates to PFAS used in aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF), a type of
chemical foam used for firefighting and emergency response, particularly
around airports and military sites. In hiding the risks of PFAS and
deceptively marketing it as safe, the lawsuit argues the companies
violated numerous state laws, including Washington’s law against public
nuisances, Products Liability Act and Consumer Protection Act.
Defendants include 3M, DuPont and 18 other manufacturers.Ferguson’s lawsuit asks the court to order the companies to pay past and
future costs to investigate, remediate, restore, treat, monitor and
otherwise respond to PFAS contamination; and pay for all damages caused
to the state, including natural resource damages.LINK: https://www.atg.wa.gov/news/news-releases/ag-ferguson-files-lawsuit-against-20-manufacturers-forever-chemicals
