Litigation Counsel Summer Craig was quoted in a Bloomberg Law article titled, “PFAS Litigation Begins ‘Tip of the Iceberg’ Turn Toward Insurers.” The article detailed how insurance companies anticipate that PFAS is on the cusp of becoming an issue for the industry and how insurance companies and policyholders may disagree on whether PFAS is a product or a pollutant. With reference to pollution exclusion terms, Summer noted that “A company that faces a lawsuit based on PFAS in a consumer product such as lipstick or in nonstick cookware may be better positioned in some states to evade pollution exclusions than a company seeking coverage for claims based on the release of PFAS from its factory into a nearby stream.”
