In this podcast episode, Jenny Yu, Industry Practice Leader for Chemicals and Life Sciences at Marsh UK, is joined by Nathalie Smyth, Partner, Products Law and Life Sciences, at Kennedys Law LLP. Together, they consider the subject of PFAs – otherwise known as Per and Poly- fluoroalkyl substances, or ‘forever chemicals’. These man-made substances have been widely produced and used in industrial and consumer products since the 1950s, and growing concern about potential health and environmental risks linked to the substances have led to an increase in lawsuits.
Jenny and Nathalie discuss the rise in litigation, the liability issues and how this impacts companies that produce and use PFAs.
