COLUMBUS, Ohio (Legal Newsline) – The judge overseeing a proposed massive class action that could affect almost every person in America won’t let one company appeal his ruling that kept the case going against it.
Judge Edmund Sargus on Feb. 17 denied the petition for permission to appeal filed by Japanese company Daikin Industries, which is one of many businesses facing litigation over chemicals known as PFAS that are in the bloodstreams of nearly every American.
Researchers say data regarding the health effects of PFAS is still lacking, but the class action by Kevin Hardwick pursues claims on behalf of everyone with a measure of PFAS in their bloodstream.
