A federal judge on Tuesday ruled that more than 20 defendants including 3M CO must face a lawsuit by firefighters over toxic chemical exposure. The proposed class action targets turnout gear containing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances that increased cancer risks. Plaintiffs argue the protective clothing leached harmful chemicals through skin absorption, ingestion, and inhalation during firefighting duties.
