Adult film actress Savannah Bond and boxer Ryan Garcia have criticized KSI and Logan Paul’s energy drink Prime, following allegations that it contains potentially harmful “forever chemicals” (PFAS). Bond expressed her disapproval on social media, while Garcia warned fans against drinking the beverage. Paul has denied the claims, stating that the alleged PFAS are not present in the drink itself but rather in the bottle packaging.
Chemical company Chemours intends to invest $250 million in building the largest perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) production facility in the United States. The plant, to be located in Fayetteville, North Carolina, is expected to create 200 jobs and begin operations in 2026.
A class-action lawsuit alleges that a leading sports drink brand founded by celebrity boxer and wrestler Logan Paul and co-founder KSI contains toxic “forever chemicals” at three times the limit of what a human should consume in an entire lifetime. The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, accuses Prime Hydration LLC of fraudulently marketing its drinks as healthy despite high levels of per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) found in one of its flavors. PFAS chemicals have been linked to serious health problems, including cancer, hormone disruption, and immune system dysfunction. The allegations follow similar lawsuits and years of scientific evidence showing the dangers of PFAS chemicals. The Environmental Protection Agency has banned some PFAS chemicals, but thousands of different types exist, making it challenging to regulate and eliminate them.
A class-action lawsuit alleges that Prime Hydration LLC, founded by Logan Paul and KSI, has been marketing its products as healthy despite containing high levels of toxic “forever chemicals” known as PFAS. The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, claims that one flavor of Prime’s sports drink contained three times the lifetime limit of PFAS for human consumption. PFAS are linked to various health problems, including cancer and reproductive issues.
A class-action lawsuit filed against Prime Hydration, co-founded by Logan Paul, alleges that its grape-flavored drink contains extremely high levels of per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), exceeding recommended daily limits by three times. The lawsuit accuses the company of deceptive marketing practices, claiming the product as healthy despite the presence of these toxic chemicals, which can cause various health issues. The case follows scientific evidence and similar lawsuits highlighting the harmful effects of PFAS chemicals, which have become widespread in many consumer products and contaminated water sources.
A class-action lawsuit has been filed against Prime Hydration LLC, a sports drink company founded by Logan Paul and KSI, alleging that its grape-flavored drink contains toxic “forever chemicals” at levels three times higher than the recommended daily limit. The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, claims that Prime fraudulently marketed its drinks as healthy despite knowing about the presence of these chemicals. The company argues that the plaintiff lacks standing and has not suffered any cognizable injury. The court is expected to issue a written order once a decision has been made.
The Micron Technology chip production plant in Clay, New York, promises economic benefits but raises environmental concerns. The facility will use hundreds of toxic chemicals, including PFAS, which can threaten water quality and human health. Despite Micron’s commitment to wastewater treatment, there are concerns about the potential for spills and the lack of water quality standards for PFAS. The community must demand ultra-secure handling and treatment of chemicals to protect the environment and workers from the potential health hazards associated with the semiconductor industry.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has officially designated perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), two prevalent ‘forever chemicals,’ as hazardous substances under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA). This move sets the stage for the agency to enforce cleanup measures on polluters who have released these toxic chemicals into the environment.
BioLargo’s Aqueous Electrostatic Concentrator (AEC) generates significantly less PFAS-laden waste compared to carbon filtration systems, providing a cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution for PFAS treatment. This advantage becomes even more pronounced with the recent EPA regulations designating PFAS chemicals as hazardous substances, mandating stringent waste handling protocols. BioLargo’s commitment to addressing PFAS contamination is further demonstrated by its support for government funding and initiatives aimed at protecting municipal water supplies.
Micron Technology plans to build a semiconductor manufacturing complex in Clay, New York, with operations commencing in 2029. While the project promises economic development and job creation, environmental activists express concerns over the potential release of toxic chemicals, particularly those known as PFAS, into local waterways via wastewater discharge. Despite Micron’s pledge to comply with environmental regulations and invest in treatment systems, uncertainties remain due to the secretive nature of the semiconductor industry and the limited knowledge and regulations surrounding PFAS. The Onondaga County Water Environmental Protection Department will oversee Micron’s wastewater discharge, but current regulations and testing methods are inadequate to fully address PFAS contamination. The federal government is pushing for the development of PFAS alternatives and improved wastewater treatment technologies, but the process could take years or decades.
