Were You Or Your Family Harmed By PFAS?

Attorneys are evaluating claims from individuals whose health was affected by products or water containing toxic “forever chemicals” called PFAS, also known as Per- and Poly- fluoroalkyl Substances. PFAS (fluorinated surfactants) are one of the key components in Class B fluorinated foams, utilized in fire suppression systems such as fire extinguishers.

PFAS are chemicals that are used in industrial production and oil processing, and these chemicals have even contaminated some drinking water supplies. PFAS can also be found in numerous everyday products such as Teflon cookware, clothing, cosmetics, and foams used by firefighters to put out fires. Certain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (“PFAS”)are known to be dangerous to health, including perfluorooctanoic acid (“PFOA”) and perfluorooctanesulfonate (“PFOS”).

Reach out below to see how you may get compensated for this potential violation of your health. There is no cost to you to consult with an attorney — they only get paid if you win. PFAs have been found to cause cancer, suppress the immune system, interfere with normal hormone and thyroid function, and cause reproductive harm.

If you feel your health was affected by PFAS, learn how to take action.

The EPA (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency) reported that millions Americans may have had exposure to PFAS, but at relatively low concentrations.
