Join Laura Abshire, Director of Sustainability Policy for the National Restaurant Association, and attorneys Sascha Henry and Jeffrey Parker from law firm Sheppard Mullin for a discussion and review of recent class actions and their case theories, as well as National Restaurant Association policy work relating to PFAs chemicals.
