Attorney General Maura Healey is suing 13 manufacturers of firefighting foam containing toxic PFAS compounds, also known as 'forever chemicals.'
Firefighters walk through foam used to extinguish a four-alarm fire on Washington Street in the Dorchester in 2018.
"Their actions violate state and federal laws that are intended to protect our residents and place costly burdens on our communities that are now forced to clean up this mess," Healey said in a press conference."These are manufacturers who attempted to hide just how dangerous this foam was, who prevented their workers from discussing the dangers of their products.
