John Gardella Interviewed By MPR News On PFAS

Aug 30, 2022 | News, PFAS

John Gardella was recently interviewed for an article written by MPR News author Kirsti Marohn entitled “On Wisconsin’s French Island, Residents Live With Lingering ‘Forever Chemicals‘.” Ms. Marohn writes about PFAS issues that residents of French Island, Wisconsin are facing and a recent lawsuit in Wisconsin brought against PFAS manufacturers and suppliers for remediation costs in the state. John provides his insights regarding how PFAS lawsuits are increasingly targeting downstream companies in the PFAS chain of distribution:

An excerpt from the article:

“John Gardella is an environmental law attorney with the CMBG3 Law firm in Boston, who advises corporations on PFAS regulations. He said the number of state lawsuits and enforcement actions against companies related to PFAS is on the rise. And increasingly, the enforcement actions are targeting more than just the manufacturers of PFAS. ‘It’s a huge swath of companies — landfills, recycling facilities, even companies that just had fires on their property and the fire department utilized (PFAS-containing) foam,’ he said. ‘It’s really, really downstream.'”

CMBG3 Law is following judicial, legislative, administrative, and scientific developments relating to PFAS.
