At A Glance

This Alert Affects:
Anyone who lived on a military base and suspects they developed cancer or thyroid disease as a result of exposure to contaminated water.
What’s Going On?
DuPont, 3M and other companies that made firefighting foams used in military base training exercises are being sued over claims that, knowing their products contained PFAS chemicals that could contaminate local groundwater and cause serious health effects, they failed to take the steps necessary to protect the public. More than 700 military bases are suspected or confirmed to have had their water contaminated with PFAS primarily due to the use of firefighting foams.
What Diseases Have Been Linked to PFAS Chemicals?
Thyroid disease and several types of cancer, including liver, pancreatic, testicular, prostate, breast, bladder, thyroid and kidney cancer, have all been linked to PFAS exposure.
What You Can Do

How Could a Lawsuit Help?
