On October 14, 2024, a proposed settlement was filed in a twelve-year antitrust lawsuit against Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS), where BCBS agreed to pay $2.8 billion to healthcare providers. In addition to the historic monetary compensation to class members, the settlement requires BCBS to invest hundreds of millions of dollars in “never-before-available changes” to its system. The timeline for finalizing the approval of the settlement is still being established but is expected to extend into mid-to-late 2025.

A federal judge in the Northern District of California partially dismissed a consumer class action, concluding that the plaintiffs' reliance on total organic fluorine (TOF) testing was insufficient to prove that "pure cotton" tampons contained PFAS. The court found that TOF, while detecting organic fluorine, does not conclusively prove the presence of PFAS without targeted analysis. This ruling aligns with similar cases and highlights ongoing debates over the adequacy of TOF testing in PFAS litigation. Read more from Partner Brian Gross at the link in the comments.

A recent legal challenge claims the EPA exceeded its authority in setting new Maximum Contaminant Levels for PFAS in drinking water. Plaintiffs argue the rule violates the Safe Drinking Water Act by bypassing essential rulemaking steps, using an unprecedented hazard index and failing to account for significant compliance costs. Partner Brian Gross and Law Clerk Alissa Son discuss the details of the matter and potential consequences for environmental regulation. Read more at the link in the comments.
