A Pair of PFAS Lawsuits Have Been Filed by the Residents of Town of Campbell, Wisconsin

A pair of class action lawsuits have been filed on behalf of Town of Campbell residents against both the City of La Crosse and nearly two dozen companies it claims are to blame for its PFAS water contamination.

The complaints claim that companies like 3-M, Tyco Fire, DuPont, and more, distributed firefighting foam to airports like La Crosse that they allegedly knew for five decades had toxic effects if released into the environment where they could seep into groundwater and them be consumed. This created an increased risk for health issues including cancer.

Both the companies and city are being sued for property damage caused by the contamination and medical monitoring and to create an early detection program for diseases related to exposure to what’s known as ‘forever chemicals.’
