| | ~ In Other News ~ | According to the suit, the companies in question have for decades made PFAS-containing stain and soil repellants and sold them to carpet manufacturers to use without disclosing their dangers. As a result, the case says, adults and children have unknowingly inhaled “toxic carpet dust” from rugs in homes, offices and (most concerningly) daycare centers. Read up on the allegations here. |
| The recently filed lawsuit claims that Walgreens has failed to tell shoppers that several of its store brand bandages contain “extremely high levels” of PFAS. The case adds that there is no known safe level of PFAS exposure due to the significant risk they pose to humans, particularly children and the elderly. Read up on the case and view the products mentioned here. |
