5th Circuit Court of Appeals overturns EPA's ban on PFAS-contaminated plastic containers.
US federal appeals court overturns ban on plastic containers contaminated with PFAS, toxic "forever chemicals" linked to health issues.

PFAS are linked to cancer, high cholesterol, liver disease, and kidney disease. The EPA is reviewing the decision.
