A federal judge on Wednesday declined to dismiss a lawsuit against Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics and Honeywell International Inc. stemming from groundwater contamination in the village of Hoosick Falls.
In a 34-page decision in Benoit et al v. Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics, 1:16-cv-00930, U.S. District Senior Judge Lawrence Kahn of the Northern District of New York partially dismissed claims from lawyers for Saint-Gobain and Honeywell, who filed motions seeking the dismissal of consolidated cases stemming from groundwater contamination with perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) used in manufacturing in the village of Hoosick Falls. Kahn, however, allowed claims for liability and negligence to survive.
