"State public health officials are warning residents not to buy or drink bottled water distributed by the Easton-based Simpson Spring Company due to PFAS contamination. 

PFAS, or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, are long-lasting, manufactured chemicals, exposure to some of which may have some health impacts.

The level of PFAS contamination found in water bottled and distributed by Simpson Spring Company exceeds drinking water standards, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health announced Wednesday."
