Wilmington PFAS Water Contamination: When the Water You Drank Every Day Was Poisoned You drank the water because you trusted it. Everyone does. You cooked with it, made coffee with it, filled bottles with it, mixed formula with it — and if you were pregnant, you probably drank more of it than anyone, because that is what the doctors told you to do. Nobody told you that the Cape Fear River, the waterway that supplies drinking water to more than 300,000 people in the Wilmington area, had been carrying toxic “forever chemicals” downstream from an industrial plant for decades. Nobody told you because, if the allegations in the pending class action are true, the companies responsible already knew and said nothing. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC. We handle toxic tort cases, environmental contamination claims, and wrongful death litigation. Ralph Manginello has spent 27-plus years in courtrooms, including federal court.

Wilmington PFAS & GenX Water Contamination: Your Family’s Legal Rights in New Hanover County You just learned your well water has forever chemicals in it. Not a trace level — more than 75 percent of the private wells tested in your part of New Hanover County came back above the health-based limit for PFAS compounds. The governor came to Wilmington to announce $17 million to connect more than 300 homes to clean public water, and that investment is real and necessary. But the grant addresses tomorrow’s water. It does nothing about the years your family has already been drinking, cooking with, and bathing in water carrying chemicals that do not break down — not in the environment, and not inside your body. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm. We handle toxic tort cases, and we are writing this for one person: someone in New Hanover County who just heard about the grant announcement, who has a private well that tested positive, and who is sitting at a kitchen table right now wondering whether those years of contaminated water have anything to do with a diagnosis, a symptom, or a fear they have been carrying. They do. And your…

Wilmington, North Carolina PFAS Water Contamination: When the Water You Trusted Carried Chemicals That Never Leave You ran three miles a day. You drank glass after glass of tap water from your kitchen sink in Wilmington because that is what a healthy person does — you hydrate, you train, you trust the water that comes out of your own faucet. You never imagined that the water you were drinking had been carrying invisible, unbreakable toxic chemicals into your body for years. Then your son was born with organs that never developed, and no genetic test could explain why. And then you learned what had been upstream the whole time — a chemical plant that had been dumping forever chemicals into the river that feeds your tap, for decades, while knowing what those chemicals could do. We are writing this for you, and for every family in Wilmington and across the Cape Fear River basin who is sitting at a kitchen table right now trying to understand what PFAS means for their health, their children, and their future.

The Chemours DOJ Settlement: Why a $450 Million Deal Is a “Slap in the Face” for Wilmington Families If you live in Wilmington, New Hanover County, or anywhere in the lower Cape Fear River basin, you have likely heard the news: the Department of Justice has reached a $450 million settlement with Chemours. To a federal agency in Washington, that might sound like a victory. To a family in Southeastern North Carolina that has been drinking GenX and other “forever chemicals” for years, it is exactly what local advocates have called it: a slap in the face. We want you to understand one thing clearly: the $450 million settlement is an enforcement action by the government. It does not belong to you. It does not pay for your medical bills, the filtration system you had to install, or the diminished value of your home. Most importantly, this government settlement does not stop you from pursuing your own toxic-tort-claim-lawyer to hold this multi-billion-dollar corporation accountable for what they put in your body. Our trial team sees this situation for what it is—a betrayal of public trust. While the company enjoyed years of profit, families in Wilmington and surrounding areas were left…
