More State AG Suits Against PFAS Manufacturers
Arizona, Arkansas, Maryland, New Mexico, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and Washington joined Rhode Island and other states that had previously filed lawsuits against PFAS manufacturers. Alleging harm to their natural resources and property as well as threats to public health and safety, these states seek to recover mounting costs associated with investigating, testing for, and remediating PFAS in drinking water and in the environment more broadly. They assert common law tort claims such as nuisance and negligence as well as state statutory claims under consumer protection and environmental laws.
