Tyco reaches $750 million settlement in PFAS water contamination lawsuit
(UI) — A settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit involving Tyco Fire Products LP and public water systems across the United States impacted by PFAS contamination. The lawsuit, centered on Aqueous Film-Forming Foams (AFFF), addresses the presence of PFAS chemicals in public water sources, which are linked to significant health risks.
Tyco has agreed to pay $750 million, pending final court approval, to resolve claims that its products contaminated public water systems. The settlement is aimed at compensating affected water systems, including those with water sources that have tested positive for PFAS.
Public water systems eligible for compensation must have impacted water sources with measurable concentrations of PFAS, as defined by the Safe Drinking Water Act. Systems with more than 3,300 service connections are covered under this settlement.
Class members who do not opt out can file a claims form to receive their share of the settlement funds. They can file online or by mail by the specified deadlines. The court will hold a final hearing on Nov. 1, to determine if the settlement will be finalized.
