Connecticut Property Owners Sue Kimberly-Clark Over Alleged PFAS Contamination.

Connecticut property owners in New Milford have filed a proposed class action lawsuit against Kimberly-Clark Corp., alleging that the paper goods manufacturer has contaminated their soil and drinking water with PFAS chemicals. The plaintiffs are seeking monetary damages, financial losses, and punitive damages, as well as the installation of filtration systems and a medical testing program. PFAS chemicals are artificial substances that can persist in the environment for long periods of time and are used in various consumer products. The lawsuit claims potential adverse health effects and cites test data from other states. Connecticut's attorney general has also filed lawsuits against 28 manufacturers for alleged PFAS contamination. [Extracted from the article]
