Other serious illnesses include Thyroid Disease, Pre-Eclampsia, and Ulcerative Colitis. If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with one of these cancers or illnesses, it may have been a result of toxic PFAS in common household items and you could be eligible to receive significant compensation.
Known as “forever chemicals,” PFAS are manmade chemicals that have been used in various products since the 1940s. According to the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, the most commonly studied PFAS are perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS).
PFAS have been used to manufacture firefighting foams at military bases, as well as non-stick cookware, stain-resistant fabrics and carpets, and products that resist grease, water, and oil. These chemicals can move into the soil, water, and air during production or usage. Due to their strong chemical bonds, most PFAS do not break down and remain in the environment and the human body. Exposure to PFAS has been associated with numerous health conditions, including cancer.
