Staying on top of the legal and policy developments in the PFAS arena is no small task. As a special service to our members, the Environmental Law Institute provides a series of webinars with authors of the PFAS Deskbook, James Pollack and Isabel Carey, and national experts on PFAS to keep you up to date, answer your questions, and highlight a unique topic related to PFAS during each session.
Just days before a bellwether trial was scheduled to begin in 2023 in the aqueous film-forming foam multidistrict litigation in South Carolina, the most well-known defendants, 3M and DuPont, reached settlements to resolve all water supplier claims against them, and other settlements have followed. Water suppliers nationwide are now filing settlement claims totaling over $12 billion with PFAS manufacturers 3M, BASF, DuPont, and Tyco. With progress underway resolving water supplier claims, the court is now turning to claims brought by states, individuals with personal injury claims, and other plaintiffs in this sprawling multidistrict litigation with over 7,000 still-pending actions.
Join us for our May PFAS Briefing, where we will discuss the litigation and the settlements, as well as how water suppliers are dealing with contamination.
