ST. PAUL, Minn., July 20, 2023 /3BL/ – Antea Group consultants Caron Koll and Jack Sheldon collaborated with the American Bar Association (ABA) to give their insights on intentional and unintentional PFAS sources in products and the potential product liability lawsuits that could ensue. The article, titled “Product liability and intentionally—versus unintentionally—added PFAS,” was published in the ABA Section of Environment, Energy, and Resources.
Koll and Sheldon share in the article that, “Identifying per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in products sold in commerce is a challenge. When they are found, however, product liability lawsuits often follow and result in substantial settlements. Three chemical manufacturing companies, Chemours, DuPont, and Corteva, announced on June 2 that they will settle at $1.185 billion that “forever chemicals” were used in manufacturing and then contaminated U.S. public water systems serving a “vast majority” of the country’s population. This may only be the beginning, as lawsuits targeting chemical manufacturers and suppliers are expected to increase when perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS), and potentially seven other PFAS are classified as hazardous substances under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA).”
They also noted that, “A limited number of manufacturers have voluntarily reported PFAS in their products. Rigorous testing by researchers around the world, including the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) have identified PFAS in many products. However, manufacturers may discover in some instances that PFAS were added unintentionally to their products at some point during their manufacturing, packaging, or storage.”

Nothing but blue skies ahead for Vanilla, a 29-year-old chimpanzee who spent her earlier years in a biomedical research laboratory in New York with no access to sunlight or time outside. With help from FedEx, Vanilla was transported with six other chimpanzees, known as the Sunrise Seven, from the Wildlife Waystation in California to Save The Chimps in Florida. Before arriving in Florida, Vanilla and the rest of the Sunrise Seven, many of whom were rescued from biomedical research facilities or the entertainment industry, lived in terrible conditions. Save The Chimps is providing Vanilla a true sanctuary where she can roam in a natural setting with other chimpanzees for the rest of her life.
As a part of her acclimation to a new environment and friends, Vanilla was first quarantined and then introduced to different groups of chimpanzees to see who she blended best with. Vanilla has joined the Air Force group — a troop of chimps that are the offspring of primates used by NASA and the U.S. Air Force. Her days are filled with roaming, leisurely naps, and lots of sunshine with her newfound friends.
“Vanilla has a long future; she can live here for another 30 or 40 years,” Dan Mathews, Save The Chimps, said. “She seems glad to have her own world, to finally have the closest thing to a natural habitat. She is embracing it.”
