PFAS refers to a class of thousands of synthetic compounds that have been widely used since at least the 1950s in many products and other applications because of their ability to resist grease, oil, water, heat and stains. There has been an unprecedented level of activity, which is expected to continue to increase, at the federal, state, local and international levels to regulate PFAS due to the alleged harmful effects to humans associated with exposure to PFAS. This presentation will provide an overview of current and upcoming regulations for PFAS and strategies for managing potential liability and litigation risk, including a focus on the due diligence that is needed for businesses to determine whether they are complying with federal and state PFAS reporting requirements, manufacturing, distribution and use bans and restrictions.
