Chemical manufacturers knew PFAS were toxic — and hid the evidence from the public for decades.
Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) are synthetic “forever chemicals” that do not break down in the environment or the human body. Internal documents from 3M and DuPont show these companies knew about the health risks decades ago. Today, PFAS contamination has been detected in drinking water systems serving millions of Americans.
What Is a PFAS Lawsuit?
PFAS lawsuits are legal claims filed by individuals, municipalities, and water utilities against chemical manufacturers who produced and sold PFAS-containing products despite knowing about their harmful effects. The primary defendants include 3M, DuPont, Chemours, and other manufacturers.
Plaintiffs include communities with contaminated drinking water, firefighters exposed to AFFF foam, and individuals who developed serious illnesses from PFAS exposure through food packaging, cookware, cosmetics, and other consumer products containing PFAS chemicals.
What Are PFAS Chemicals?
PFAS stands for Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances — a group of over 12,000 synthetic chemicals used since the 1940s. They are called “forever chemicals” because the strong carbon-fluorine bond does not break down in the environment or the human body, leading to accumulation over time.
- PFOA (perfluorooctanoic acid) — used in Teflon non-stick coatings; linked to kidney and testicular cancer, thyroid dysfunction, high cholesterol
- PFOS (perfluorooctane sulfonate) — used in firefighting foam; linked to thyroid disease, immune impacts, and cancers
- PFNA — associated with kidney cancer and elevated cholesterol
- PFHxS — affects immune system function
- GenX chemicals (HFPO-DA) — used as PFOA replacement; causes liver toxicity and developmental harm
Common Sources of PFAS Exposure
- Contaminated drinking water — PFAS has been found in water systems near military bases, airports, and manufacturing plants
- Firefighting foam (AFFF) — primary source of PFAS contamination at military installations and airports
- Non-stick cookware — older Teflon-coated pans used PFOA in manufacturing
- Waterproof products — clothing, carpets, and upholstery treated with water-repellent coatings
- Food packaging — grease-resistant wrappers, microwave popcorn bags, fast food containers
- Cosmetics — mascara, foundation, eyeliner, and other personal care products
PFAS Health Effects & Symptoms
- Cancer risk — kidney, testicular, liver, and thyroid cancers are most strongly linked to PFAS
- Thyroid disruption — PFAS interferes with thyroid hormone production and regulation
- Weakened immune response — including reduced vaccine effectiveness in children
- Elevated cholesterol — PFOA and PFOS are strongly linked to high LDL cholesterol levels
- Reproductive and developmental issues — reduced fertility, preeclampsia, developmental delays in children
- Liver damage — abnormal liver enzyme levels linked to PFAS accumulation
- Hormonal imbalances — PFAS act as endocrine disruptors affecting multiple hormone systems
PFAS Settlement Amounts & Litigation Status
PFAS litigation has produced some of the largest environmental settlements in U.S. history. 3M agreed to pay between $10.3 billion and $12.5 billion over 13 years to resolve claims from public water systems. DuPont, Chemours, and Corteva agreed to pay $1.185 billion to settle claims from more than 300 public water systems.
Personal injury claims — from individuals who developed cancer or other serious conditions from PFAS exposure — remain active and are being pursued through separate litigation. These claims are distinct from the water utility settlements.
As of 2025, PFAS litigation continues to expand with new claims being filed. Statutes of limitations vary by state, so affected individuals should seek legal consultation promptly.
How to File a PFAS Claim
1. Identify Your Exposure
Determine your primary source of PFAS exposure — contaminated water, AFFF foam, consumer products, or workplace exposure — and document the timeline as best you can.
2. Get Medical Documentation
Obtain official documentation of your diagnosis. Medical records establishing your condition and its connection to PFAS exposure are essential to your claim.
3. Consult a PFAS Attorney
Consumers Injury Help connects you with attorneys who specialize in PFAS and environmental litigation. There is no upfront cost — attorneys work on a contingency basis.
4. File Your Claim
Your attorney will evaluate whether your case qualifies for existing settlement programs or should proceed as a separate personal injury lawsuit against the responsible manufacturers.
