Good afternoon attorney Tracy Pollson of Rightful Legal today I wanted to discuss a question that I’ve been getting a lot from clients um in the PAS personal injury um multi-dist litigation lawsuit and the question is how did PAS chemicals get into my drinking water supply well the answer is that it’s not so simple um if you are drinking from a water supply that’s from the groundwater like many cities and towns are in the United States then it’s more likely than not that your water may be contaminated they’re contaminated from a variety of sources uh it comes from manufacturers who utilize PAS in their industrial processes and in their consumer products um but people are standing up and fighting back for instance the town of Nyak in New York recently filed a lawsuit against Estee Lauder in tea pharmaceuticals for utilizing PAS compounds um in their products and in their uh industrial processes and dumping it uh into the ground which has led uh into the aquifer and directly through people’s faucets into their systems um also as you might see a lot uh there is a lot of exposure from um aquous firefighting foam uh that is utilized obviously at fire stations and also through military bases for training exercises um there is a new order by the federal uh district court judge in South Carolina where uh 12 sites are actually going to be studied and this will be really integral uh in the current pending litigation and this is to determine um products where the products came from because military bases and air airports uh will keep records of where they bought the firefighting foam from and this can lead back to the direct manufacturer whether whe it be you know 3M or another defendant um so this uh litigation is evolving at a very rapid pace also with that um the time to be part of this uh personal injury lawsuit is is time barred it’s um urgent that if you have experienced um kidney cancer liver cancer thyroid cancer ulcerative colitis or testicular cancer that you may have a claim and that it’s um very vital that you contact an attorney right away because these claims will be timebarred by the statute of limitation um there’s many states that have a discovery rule like they do in Massachusetts so it’s not just the date of the diagnosis of your injury but also uh on the date that you would have known about the you know the harm was caused by PAS so in coming years um old cases will not be able to come forward um so if you have been harmed in any way um please reach out to me uh directly you can reach me at 617-821-5856 um or you can contact me to schedule a free consultation at rifleal.com um there is no risk to joining this lawsuit uh like most contingency fee cases uh you do not pay unless you win um the only risk is is not um contacting an attorney who can help you um as soon as possible and here at Rightful Legal we are trying to spread the word word to get you the compensation you deserve and to hold these companies responsible for the harm that they have caused and the harm that they have knowingly caused and in some capacity help prevent this from happening again in the future thank you
