Easton sues chemical companies over PFAS in water - The Boston Globe The town of Easton is suing numerous chemical companies whose products contain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) that the town alleges have contaminated its drinking water supplies.
In its complaint, Easton alleges that its fire and rescue department used fire-fighting foam products, unaware that they contained the harmful chemicals, which contaminated ground water that fed the town water supplies. The companies knew about the health hazards of the chemicals but continued to sell them without warning to their customers, the suit alleges.
The federal lawsuit seeks to recover the costs associated with removing the chemicals, which have been associated with health problems.
The companies include the 3M Company, Chemguard, Dupont, and Tyco.
