Novel Theory of Liability Against Food and Beverage Manufacturers For Plastics Pollution Fails First Test

In October 2024, the State of New York’s complaint was dismissed, with the court forcefully rejecting this theory of liability. It remains to be seen whether plaintiffs advancing similar arguments in other jurisdictions will fare any better.
