  1. PFAS Litigation: An Evolving Global Disaster  https://www.medlegal360.com/pfas‐litigation/  Malignancies, low birth weights, thyroid difficulties, neurological problems, and many other potential  illnesses are only a few of the severe health effects of PFAS exposure. Hundreds of PFAS litigations are  currently focusing on PFAS manufacturers.   pfaslitigation    PFAS Litigation: An Evolving Global Disaster  https://www.medlegal360.com/pfas‐litigation/  The term "per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances," sometimes known as "PFAS," refers to a group of  hazardous synthetic chemicals that have been used in the United States since the 1940s and are found  in various consumer goods as well as our land, air, and water.  PFAS can have several effects on our bodies. When eaten, PFAS can remain in our bodies for a long time  after first coming into contact with us. This explains why this particular group of dangerous compounds  has such severe health impacts.  The proximity of industrial sites, military installations, and airports are where PFAS water pollution  occurs most frequently. Training exercises at US military installations and commercial airports have used  firefighting foam for many years. This foam eventually got into the water supply. According to a  Department of Defense analysis from 2020, 600 military locations and the areas around them had PFAS  water pollution.  Over the past few years, many PFAS litigations have been filed against the manufacturers of products  that contain PFAS. These PFAS lawsuits were filed by local governments, which alleged that their water  systems were contaminated. People who allege that drinking contaminated water caused them to get  cancer or other illnesses have also filed claims.  Earlier this year, a consumer class action lawsuit was brought against McDonald's because the  renowned fast‐food company has been selling food in packaging that contains hazardous chemicals  known as PFAS. The lawsuit was filed on September 20, 2022. In this PFAS litigation, it is alleged that  McDonald's made false statements to customers about the safety, environmental friendliness, and non‐ toxicity of the food packaging for its products.  The Northern District of Illinois is where it was filed. McDonald's opposed the plaintiff's allegations and  his right to speak on behalf of the proposed class of consumers in a request to dismiss that was  submitted over the summer. A hearing ought to be scheduled for November after the plaintiffs  presented their statement in opposition last week.  Medical record reviews must be accurate and thorough enough for the attorneys to understand the  injury's medical concept and prepare for the trial. LezDo techmed can help you with the analysis of your  medical records. From medlegal360, you can read more blogs about Hawaii water contamination  lawsuits, chemical plants on fire, toxic chemical impacts, and golf cart accidents.
