“Forever Chemicals” and Their Impact on the Wine Industry (Webinar)
Join Sarah Bell, Christopher Rendall-Jackson, Don Sobelman and guest speaker Adam Love with Roux, in the discussion on '"Forever Chemicals" and Their Impact on the Wine Industry."
"Forever chemicals," continue to make headlines and are rapidly becoming a focal point of state and federal regulations, as well as environmental, product and personal injury litigation. These persistent chemicals called per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), once widely used in various industries, including agriculture, consumable products, and manufacturing, are now recognized by the USEPA as a significant risk to human health and the environment. Despite the phase-out of certain PFAS, their long-lasting presence in soil, water, and the human body has earned them the term "forever chemicals." Understanding the impact PFAS has on the wine industry is crucial as regulations tighten and awareness among consumers grows.
Join us as we discuss the risks to corporations, partnerships, and estates and trusts associated with this quickly evolving area of legal practice, including:
- What PFAS are and why they matter to your business.
- Key legislative and regulatory updates impacting the industry.
- Practical strategies to identify and mitigate PFAS-related risks associated with vineyards, winery operations, and products.
