A Houston-based company that reinforces plastic packaging for food and household goods is putting the public at risk of exposure to toxic “forever chemicals,” according to a new lawsuit brought by environmental and public health groups.
Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER) and Center for Environmental Health on Tuesday sued Inhance Technologies USA in District of Columbia federal court, alleging violations of the Toxic Substances Control Act. The complaint came after the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) filed a similar suit last week.
