New Hampshire rebuffs 3M’s attempt to move PFAS case to federal court

Recently, the State of New Hampshire, represented by Attorney General John Formella and a legal team led by Ken Sansone of SL Environmental Law Group, defeated an effort to move its case against 3M Company, E.I. DuPont de Nemours & Company, and The Chemours Company for causing statewide environmental damage with per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) products from the New Hampshire court system.

Nearly four years ago, the state filed suit in the New Hampshire superior court, alleging that 3M, DuPont, and Chemours made defective products containing certain toxic PFAS compounds that have contaminated New Hampshire’s natural resources, including soil, groundwater, surface water, fish, and other wildlife.
