A proposed class action against the consumer goods company Church and Dwight has been filed in Manhattan Federal court. The popular condom brand Trojan has been called out for producing unsafe products, in particular their ‘Ultra Thin’ brand of condoms for containing per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances, also known as PFAS.
PFAS have become known as “forever chemicals” due to the fact that they do not break down easily in the human body or environment. These forever chemicals are linked to many negative health effects such as cancers, hormone imbalance and higher cholesterol.
Plaintiffs are seeking at least $5 million in damages for affected buyers nationwide.
