Statute of limitations — New Jersey
The New Jersey Products Liability Act (N.J.S.A. 2A:58C) imposes a 2-year statute of limitations for product liability claims. The discovery rule applies — the clock starts when the plaintiff knew or reasonably should have known about the cancer and its connection to synthetic turf exposure. New Jersey has a 10-year statute of repose, though ongoing exposure arguments may toll this period.
2 years from discovery of turf-related cancer diagnosis

Where to File in New Jersey
New Jersey state court claims may proceed in Bergen, Essex, Middlesex, or other County Superior Courts. New Jersey applies a modified Daubert standard under N.J.R.E. 702. The state's extensive experience with PFAS water contamination litigation, particularly cases involving Chemours and 3M in the Raritan River watershed, creates favorable legal precedent for PFAS-in-turf claims. New Jersey's dense network of synthetic turf fields across high school, college, and recreation facilities means a significant exposed population.
