PFAS “Forever Chemicals” Contamination Lawsuit

If you were exposed to PFAS "forever chemicals" through contaminated water or your workplace, you may qualify for compensation.

Stay Informed

What's behind the PFAS contamination claims?

PFAS ("forever chemicals") are persistent synthetic chemicals used for decades in industrial processes and everyday products. Lawsuits allege manufacturers like 3M, DuPont, Chemours, and Corteva contaminated drinking water and the environment and failed to adequately warn of the health risks.

This is a broad, fast-moving area of litigation — it includes water-utility and municipal contamination claims, state attorney general lawsuits, and personal-injury claims from people exposed through contaminated water or products.

Who this may affect

  • Lived or worked near a facility that manufactured or used PFAS chemicals
  • Drew drinking water from a source later found to be contaminated with PFAS
  • Diagnosed with a condition that's been linked in litigation to PFAS exposure

Where things stand

As of mid-2026, nearly 14,000 people are pursuing compensation through the federal PFAS MDL, and the presiding judge has urged major manufacturers including 3M, DuPont, BASF, and Johnson Controls to move toward a broader settlement process. On July 9, 2026, New York's Attorney General filed a new lawsuit against 3M, DuPont, Chemours, and Corteva seeking statewide cleanup funding and damages. Separately, Chemours, DuPont, and Corteva agreed to pay $2 billion — including $875 million over 25 years — to resolve New Jersey contamination claims.

Frequently asked questions

Is this the same as the AFFF firefighting foam lawsuit?

They're related but separate. AFFF (firefighting foam) litigation is a specific, large PFAS-exposure case type focused on firefighters, military members, and others exposed through that product. This page covers the broader PFAS contamination landscape — water supplies, other industrial sources, and state-level cases. See our separate AFFF firefighting foam page for that specific litigation.
