PFAS Compost & Top-Soil Investigation

Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is investigating whether PFAS compost and top-soil products marketed as “organic” or “safe for vegetables” contain toxic “forever chemicals.”

What Gardeners Report About PFAS Compost

Consumers say they bought bagged compost advertised as eco-friendly, later learning that independent tests and state regulators found PFAS contamination in the same brands. Some gardeners report crop loss, tainted wells, or health concerns after use.

Why Gardeners Should Be Concerned

Marketing contaminated soil as “safe for food crops” may violate false-advertising and unfair-trade laws, as well as state environmental regulations. PFAS exposure is linked to cancer, immune issues, and developmental harm.

Signs You May Be Affected by PFAS Compost

  • You purchased compost labeled “organic,” “PFAS-free,” or “safe for veggies.”
  • You later learned of PFAS contamination or experienced plant/soil issues.
  • You were never warned about potential chemical content.
