"The company Gore, best known for Gore-Tex fabric, continues to face legal troubles for allegedly polluting the environment with the toxic class of chemicals called PFAS, which made its way into drinking water.

Attorneys representing residents in Elkton, Maryland, sent a notice of their intent to sue on Wednesday, alleging the company, headquartered in Newark, Delaware, violated federal environmental laws.

The notice follows a separate class-action lawsuit filed by the same attorneys last year, which accuses Gore of contaminating residents’ drinking water with so-called “forever chemicals” from its Cherry Hill plant in Elkton."
