B&C is pleased to present “PFAS in consumer products: a multi-state compliance guide,” a complimentary Lexology Masterclass focused on analyzing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) reporting frameworks at the federal and state level, as well as state notification, restriction, and prohibition requirements. In comparing these frameworks and requirements, webinar participants will:
- Appreciate the complexity of PFAS and the diversity of regulatory approaches;
- Understand jurisdictional divergence in PFAS regulation to better navigate emerging PFAS initiatives;
- Anticipate regulatory outcomes of emerging PFAS initiatives;
- Integrate more holistically divergent governance standards to anticipate and avoid market access limitations; and
- Advise better and more confidently on the legal and commercial issues flowing from these many initiatives.
