PFAS Litigation Unpacked: Legal Insights with Elizabeth Knauer, Esq. (Part 2)

Welcome back to the PWGC Environmental Podcast! In Part 2 of our series on PFAS, we continue our deep dive with Elizabeth Knauer, Esq. Principal at Sive, Paget & Riesel. Hosted by Paul Boyce, President of PWGC, and joined by Derek Ersbak, PWGC Vice President, this episode explores new legal developments in PFAS litigation, including groundbreaking case precedents, emerging claims in the Aqueous Film-Forming Foam (AFFF) Multidistrict Litigation (MDL), and the federal government's role in liability. AFFF MDL involves consolidated lawsuits against manufacturers of firefighting foam products that contain PFAS, often referred to as 'forever chemicals,' which are linked to environmental contamination and health risks. With new claims emerging in this ongoing litigation, we take a closer look at how these developments are reshaping environmental law, corporate responsibility, and future legal strategies.
