Perdue Farms has been issued a 90-day notice under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) over PFAS contamination in Salisbury, MD. BMF Partner Philip C. Federico spoke with WUSA9 about the legal action, which calls on Perdue to stop practices linked to toxic “forever chemicals” found in local groundwater and streams within 90 days—or face another lawsuit.
The notice follows years of contamination impacting local residents, with over 350 residential wells already testing above the EPA’s threshold for PFAS. The dangerous chemicals, linked to cancer, immune system suppression, and other health issues, continue to threaten families in the area.
“Every day that goes by, people’s risk of getting cancer and other health problems from PFAS-contaminated groundwater continues,” said Federico.
Our firm is representing over 500 residents in a separate class action lawsuit and will continue working to hold Perdue accountable for the harm caused.
