PFAS Accountability Act of 2025

This bill would amend the Toxic Substances Control Act to let people who were significantly exposed to PFAS chemicals, or who have reasonable grounds to suspect they were, sue in federal court, alone or as a class. They could sue any person that took part in making the PFAS and that foresaw or should have foreseen human exposure. Courts could order the defendant to pay for medical monitoring if exposure raised the risk of PFAS-related disease. The bill sets rules for presuming exposure, such as living for at least one year in an area where PFAS were released or having PFAS detected in blood. It also lets defendants challenge that presumption with their own paid testing, lets courts order new studies, and keeps state law claims in place.
