They're in Your
Blood. They Knew
for Decades.
PFAS — per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances — are in your drinking water, your fast food wrappers, your non-stick cookware, your firefighter gear, and your bloodstream. They don't break down. 3M and DuPont documented this internally for decades while continuing to produce and sell them. Active PFAS lawsuits cover every exposure pathway. Attorneys are reviewing claims nationwide at no cost.
Litigation Status
Billions Settled.
Personal Injury Still Open.
Water system settlements resolved claims from municipalities. Individual personal injury lawsuits — for people who developed cancer and other serious illnesses from PFAS exposure — remain fully open across every exposure pathway.
3M settled for over $10 billion and DuPont/Chemours for over $1 billion to resolve PFAS contamination claims from public water systems — establishing the evidentiary record and financial precedent for individual personal injury claims that remain fully open.
Individual PFAS cancer claims — kidney, bladder, testicular, thyroid, lymphoma — are separate from the water system settlements and actively being filed. New claimants are accepted across all exposure pathways: water, food, cookware, military, AFFF, and workplace.
Every attorney in this network handles PFAS claims on pure contingency. No retainer. No upfront fees. If no recovery is made on your behalf, you owe nothing — at any stage, through any exposure pathway.
"3M's internal documents called it 'a ubiquitous contaminant.' They kept selling it anyway."
Every Exposure Pathway
How PFAS
Got Into You.
PFAS litigation covers every route of exposure. You don't need to have lived near a contaminated well to have a claim. A connected attorney will identify which pathways apply to your history at no cost.
Contaminated Drinking Water — Municipal & Private Wells
PFAS contamination has been confirmed in thousands of municipal water systems and private wells across the United States. Residents who consumed PFAS-contaminated water for years and developed qualifying conditions are the largest plaintiff group in current PFAS personal injury litigation.
AFFF Firefighting Foam — Military & Airport Exposure
Aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) contains extremely high concentrations of PFAS. Veterans and civilian workers at military bases and airports where AFFF was used for decades — and the communities surrounding those installations — face elevated PFAS body burden and qualifying cancer diagnoses.
Food Packaging — Fast Food, Microwave Bags & Takeout
PFAS has been detected migrating from food-contact packaging — fast food wrappers, microwave popcorn bags, pizza boxes, and takeout containers — into food. Lawsuits allege manufacturers and fast food chains knew of this migration and failed to warn consumers or transition to PFAS-free alternatives.
Non-Stick Cookware — Teflon & PTFE Coating Claims
PFAS have been used as non-stick coating components in Teflon and PTFE-based cookware since the 1950s. PFAS cookware lawsuits allege that DuPont and cookware manufacturers knew that PFAS leached from coatings — particularly when overheated — and failed to disclose the health risks to consumers.
Firefighter Turnout Gear — Occupational PFAS Exposure
Firefighter protective suits (turnout gear) contain PFAS as flame and chemical barriers. Studies show firefighters have significantly elevated PFAS blood levels from years of wearing this gear. Lawsuits targeting manufacturers of PFAS-containing turnout gear are being filed alongside AFFF foam claims.
Stain & Water Resistance — Scotchgard, Gore-Tex & Carpets
Scotchgard fabric protector, Gore-Tex waterproof clothing, and stain-resistant carpet and upholstery treatments have historically contained PFAS. Prolonged occupational or residential exposure to PFAS-treated surfaces — particularly in manufacturing, retail, or installation settings — may support a PFAS exposure claim.
Eligibility
Your Exposure May
Support a Claim
The core questions are whether you were exposed to PFAS through any recognized pathway and whether a qualifying health condition followed. A connected attorney determines eligibility at no cost.
You were diagnosed with kidney, bladder, or testicular cancer
These three cancers have the strongest documented links to PFAS exposure and are the primary diagnoses in active PFAS personal injury litigation. Prior PFAS water, food, military, or occupational exposure combined with one of these diagnoses is the core of most strong claims.
You lived in a community with documented PFAS water contamination
Documented municipal or well water PFAS contamination combined with years of residence and a qualifying diagnosis is the foundation of the largest category of PFAS personal injury claims currently being filed.
You served at or lived near a military base that used AFFF
Dozens of military installations have confirmed PFAS groundwater contamination from AFFF use. Veterans, active military, civilian workers, and nearby residents who consumed contaminated water and developed qualifying conditions have independent PFAS claims.
You are a career or volunteer firefighter with elevated PFAS exposure
Firefighters face elevated PFAS exposure from both AFFF foam and PFAS-containing turnout gear. If you have documented high PFAS blood levels or a qualifying diagnosis following years of firefighting, a connected attorney can evaluate your claim.
You have documented elevated PFAS blood levels
Blood serum PFAS testing showing elevated levels is strong direct evidence supporting a PFAS claim regardless of the exposure pathway. If you have had PFAS blood testing through an employer, health program, or medical provider, that documentation significantly strengthens your case.
Your diagnosis occurred within the past several years
Statutes of limitation vary by state and exposure type — typically two to three years from diagnosis or discovery of the PFAS connection. A connected attorney can assess your specific deadline across your exposure pathway at no cost.
How It Works
Every Step
Handled For You.
Attorneys in this network navigate PFAS claims across all exposure pathways. Your role is sharing your exposure and medical history — they handle everything from there at zero upfront cost.
Free Exposure Evaluation
A connected attorney maps your PFAS exposure history — water, food, military, occupational, or product — alongside your diagnosis to identify which claims and defendants apply to your situation.
Contamination & Medical Evidence
EPA records, water testing data, medical records, blood serum PFAS results, employment history, and expert witnesses are assembled to document exposure and causation across your specific pathway.
Filing & Litigation
Your PFAS lawsuit is filed against the appropriate defendants — 3M, DuPont/Chemours, manufacturers, or multiple parties — and coordinated with any relevant MDL proceedings.
Settlement or Verdict
The attorney's fee comes only from your recovery. You never pay a dollar out of pocket at any stage of the process — no exceptions, no matter the exposure pathway.
From Those Who Filed
Their Words
"I didn't even know what PFAS was until my kidney cancer diagnosis. My oncologist asked about my water source, then mentioned the lawsuits. Turns out my zip code has been on the EPA's contamination list for years."
"Twenty-two years as a career firefighter — AFFF at every major training, and turnout gear every shift. My PFAS blood levels came back extremely elevated. The free evaluation was the first time anyone connected all of this for me."
"We never lived near a base or an industrial site. We just ate a lot of microwave popcorn and fast food for fifteen years. When my husband was diagnosed with bladder cancer, PFAS food packaging was something our attorney raised immediately."
Common Questions
What You Need to Know
Yes. Individual PFAS personal injury lawsuits remain active and open to new claimants across all exposure pathways — water, food, AFFF, cookware, military, and workplace. Submit your information for a free evaluation to find out if your exposure history and diagnosis qualify.
Kidney cancer, bladder cancer, testicular cancer, thyroid cancer, thyroid disease, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and ulcerative colitis are the EPA-recognized PFAS-linked conditions. Additional emerging links include reproductive harm and immune dysfunction. A connected attorney can assess your specific diagnosis at no cost.
Yes. 3M faces ongoing PFAS personal injury litigation. Internal documents show 3M knew PFAS accumulated in human bodies and caused health harm for decades while continuing production. Individual cancer claims against 3M are still being filed. A connected attorney can assess your 3M claim at no cost.
Yes. PFAS food packaging and cookware claims are distinct from water contamination claims and cover a different plaintiff population. Manufacturers knew PFAS migrated into food and failed to warn consumers. A connected attorney can evaluate your food or cookware exposure history.
DuPont and its spinoff Chemours face claims for knowingly concealing PFAS toxicity since the 1960s. Despite the water system settlement, individual personal injury claims remain active. A connected attorney can assess your DuPont PFAS claim.
Yes. Turnout gear containing PFAS is being targeted in lawsuits alongside AFFF foam claims. Firefighters with elevated PFAS blood levels or qualifying cancer diagnoses from gear exposure have independent claims. A connected attorney can evaluate your firefighter gear claim.
Yes — statutes of limitation vary by state and pathway, typically two to three years from diagnosis or discovery. With multiple PFAS MDL proceedings advancing, filing now is strongly advised. Contact a connected attorney today to find out your deadline.
