PFAS Town Hall
Learn more about PFAS contamination around the Perdue AgriBusiness Facility in Salisbury, Maryland
Were You Affected by PFAS Contamination Near the Perdue AgriBusiness Facility? We Can Help.
Recent groundwater testing at Perdue AgriBusiness facility in Wicomico County, Maryland, revealed elevated levels of PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), also known as “forever chemicals,” which seep into the ground and contaminate the surface water, soil, sediment, and groundwater.
The Perdue facility is located at 6906 Zion Church Rd, Salisbury, Maryland – near Beaver Run School, Delmarva Early Learning Center, and other businesses and homes – and may have been releasing these harmful PFAS chemicals into the surrounding water and soil.
The presence of these harmful chemicals is raising concerns about potential water contamination affecting local homeowners and businesses that rely on well water. PFAS can lead to health problems such as cancer, liver damage, thyroid disease, and fertility issues.
If you live or work near the facility, you may have been exposed to these toxic chemicals.
At Brockstedt Mandalas Federico LLC (BMF), we specialize in environmental and toxic tort cases, standing up for individuals harmed by corporate negligence.
On October 11, 2024, our firm filed a class action lawsuit against Perdue AgriBusiness after elevated levels of “forever chemicals” were detected in the groundwater surrounding its facility in Salisbury, Maryland. We are investigating the impact of this exposure and are prepared to represent those seeking justice.
