The New Hamebasheer case was sent to the State Court

The first appeal court in the department prevented the 3M CO. attempt. To remove the chemical PFAS case in New Hampshire to the Federal Court.

The Court of Appeal confirmed an order in 2023 issued by the US District Court of the New Hampshire Province, which brought the case to the state court.

“This victory will be allowed to move forward in our case and continue to follow the damage to PFAS pollution of the waters of our states and other natural resources.” “Companies such as 3m billion dollars have made the manufacture of chemicals PFAS without revealing the public about the great threats to human health and the environment, and we intend to hold them accountable for the damage they caused.”

While 3M achieved success in a similar appeal in other PFAs cases, Formula said that New Hampshire had successfully argued that 3M’s attempt to remove the case to the Federal Court was unlimited, as it was delayed at least two years under the applicable law.

New Hampshire claims that there are more than 200 PFAs polluted sites in the state.

This is the latest development in the state’s efforts to hold 3 million and other PFas manufacturers to calculate PFAs on a large scale.

The state has a separate lawsuit for PFAs focusing on a water foam (AFFF), which is part of a multi -boycott case at the US District Court of South Carolina. Last August, New Hampshire announced that it would receive more than $ 65 million from 3M and Dupont to settle many complaints in this litigation on pollution of public water systems.

Polyfluoroalkyl materials known as PFAS-on a large-scale, long-term chemicals, which collapse with their components very slowly over time. Studies have shown that exposure to some PFAs in the environment may be associated with the harmful effects of humans and animals.

PFAs have been used for decades to manufacture consumer products, including non -sticky cooking tools, spot -resistant furniture and carpets, water -resistant clothes, microwave popcorn bags, fast food covers, pizza boxes, shampoo, dental floss, and skiing, according to the Health Department of New Hampshire. It was also used in some foam firefighting and various industrial operations.
