Maine Receives Amended Complaint in PFAS Paper Mill Lawsuit

Friday, June 4, 2021
In March 2021, we reported on a PFAS paper mill lawsuit in Maine, which was a class action lawsuit was filed in Maine by residents of Fairfield, Maine, alleging that a paper mill company polluted residential land with PFAS. The plaintiffs allege that the PFAS pollution devalued their properties, exposed residents to risks of harm to their health, and necessitated costly remediation of the contaminated land.
Yesterday, an Amended Complaint was filed in the case, which added 11 new companies to the case, bringing the total number of companies named in the case to over a dozen. In addition to the original case filing that focused on the Skowhegan paper mill, owned by Sappi and referred to as the Somerset Mill, the amended lawsuit adds companies that owned or operated the Madison Paper Mill, former Winslow Paper Mill, Huhtamaki in Waterville, Androscoggin Paper Mill in Jay, and the former Bucksport Paper Mill.
