New Jersey has multiple military PFAS contamination sites and is also home to Chemours' Pompton Lakes Works facility, which has contaminated local groundwater. New Jersey has been aggressive in pursuing PFAS contamination, and the state's proximity to DuPont's corporate history makes it a key PFAS litigation state. Atlantic City area and Fort Dix/McGuire communities have documented PFAS exposure.
New Jersey personal injury claims are governed by N.J.S.A. 2A:14-2, providing a 2-year limitations period from discovery. Federal PFAS claims proceed in MDL 2873 (D.S.C.).
