COURT ORDERED LEGAL NOTICE Tyco Fire Products Water Contamination Class Action Settlement You may be eligible for a cash payment from a class action settlement if you owned or resided at a property with a private well drinking water source in Peshtigo, Wisconsin between 1965 and 2020. The proposed $17.5 million settlement with Tyco Fire Products, LP, Chemguard, Inc., and ChemDesign Products, Inc. resolves claims of current and former property owners and residents who allege their private well drinking water sources were contaminated with perfluorinated chemicals (PFAS) from the nearby Tyco Fire Facility. The proposed settlement provides payments to Class Members for alleged loss of property value, exposure to PFAS in drinking water, and/or personal injuries allegedly caused by PFAS exposure. Eligibility You are a Class Member and eligible for benefits if you were a resident in and/or owner of a property within the Class Area between January 1, 1965 and December 31, 2020. The Class Area is located in the town of Peshtigo, Wisconsin, and is bounded in the north by University Drive, in the south by Heath Lane, in the west by Roosevelt Road, and in the east by the Bay of Green Bay. Benefits Class Members may be eligible for up to three different types of cash payment settlement benefits: Property Damage Payments for current or former owners of an affected property with a private drinking-water wel. The payment amount will be determined by whether the Class Member is a current or former owner and the amount of PFAS in the drinking-water well at the property. Additional amounts may be awarded based on unusual property size or impact. PFAS Exposure Payments for each resident of an affected property. The payment amount will be determined by whether the Class Member is a current or former resident and the amount of PFAS in the drinking-water well at the property. Additional amounts may be awarded based on time of exposure. Personal Injury Payments for individuals who were diagnosed with testicular cancer, kidney cancer, pregnancy-induced hypertension, ulcerative colitis, and/or thyroid disease more than one year after first living in an affected property. The payment amounts may vary based on the amount of PFAS in the drinking-water well at the property and disease type. Additional amounts may be awarded based on unusual disease complications or impacts. How to Get Benefits To receive a Property Damage Payment or PFAS Exposure Payment as part of the class action settlement, you must submit a completed Property Damage/Exposure claim form and signed release by the deadline. The claim form deadline for Property Damage Payments and Exposure Payments may be as early as July 12, 2021. To receive an individual Personal Injury payment, you must submit a separate, completed Personal Injury claim form and signed release by the deadline. The claim form deadline for Personal Injury Payments may be as early as June 21, 2021. Your Other Options To exclude yourself from the class aspects of the settlement, you must mail a written request to "opt-out" of the class settlement by March 29, 2021 to the attorneys for the Class Members and the Defendants. To object to the class aspects of the settlement, you must mail an objection by March 29, 2021 to the court, the attorneys for the Class members, and the attorneys for the Defendants explaining why you think the class settlement should not be approved. If you do nothing, you will be bound by the release of Defendants in the lawsuit, with the exception of latent or unknown Personal Injury claims. If you do not submit claim forms, you will not receive any payments, even if you are eligible for them. More Information The Court will hold a hearing on the settlement on May 24, 2021.
