Lynn L. Bergeson Quoted in Bloomberg Law Article “Rare Suit Between Cookware Makers Centers on PFAS Toxicity Claim”

On June 24, 2026, comments by Lynn L. Bergeson were featured in Bloomberg Law’s article covering a complaint filed in the U.S. District Court the Southern District of New York by Groupe SEB USA Inc. and Meyer Corp. against Caraway Home Inc., alleging that Caraway’s ads falsely paint the presence of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in its competitors’ products as toxic.

Distinguishing divergent PFAS and pointing to the safety of some makes the case notable, said Lynn Bergeson, managing partner of Bergeson & Campbell PC, which specializes in chemical policies.

Too often there’s been a “one-size-fits-all approach to characterizing the functionality and toxicity of this diverse class of substances,” she said. Having parties stand up and defend particular chemicals in that class is laudable and somewhat unique, Bergeson said.

“Be extremely careful, mindful of how claims are formulated and made with regard to your product, whether it’s a consumer product or an industrial commercial product,” Bergeson said.
