South Carolina Federal Court Denies DuPont’s and Other Companies’ Motion for Summary Judgement Seeking to Limit Liability in PFAS-Related MDL Case
The U.S. District Court in South Carolina denied DuPont’s and other companies’ motion for summary judgment seeking to limit their liability in a multi-district litigation case involving alleged PFAS contamination in aqueous film-forming foams (“AFFF”). Despite arguments to the contrary, the Court concluded that the claim against the defendants contained at least one question that was ripe for the jury – namely the defendants’ duty to warn of alleged PFAS in AFFF.
