Continued Growth in AFFF Firefighting Foam MDL
In April, the AFFF firefighting foam class action MDL witnessed ongoing expansion, albeit at a somewhat slower pace compared to the previous month. A total of 323 new cases were added to the MDL, representing a notable decrease from the 568 cases added in March.
Despite this moderation in growth, the addition of 323 new cases underscores the sustained momentum of litigation within the MDL. This trend is particularly significant considering the resolution of previous water contamination cases, signaling continued interest and participation from affected parties.
With the influx of new filings, the total number of pending cases in the AFFF MDL now exceeds 8,000, highlighting the considerable scope and complexity of the litigation. As the MDL continues to evolve, close monitoring of case volumes and developments will remain essential for stakeholders navigating this multifaceted legal landscape.
