Firefighting Foam Claims & the Pollution Exclusion
In an article published in the March/April 2021 issue of NU Claims Magazine, Joseph P. Lang and Alida Pecanin discuss potential harbingers of a claims boom relating to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) – a recent $17,500,000 settlement between residents of the Town of Peshtigo, Wisconsin, and manufacturers of aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF), and a 600-case multidistrict litigation (MDL) pending in the U.S. District Court for South Carolina.
