Mealey's (December 15, 2016, 2:31 PM EST) -- COLUMBUS, Ohio — E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Co. on Dec. 12 filed a brief in the perfluorooctanoic acid (known as C8) injury multidistrict litigation, arguing that the presiding judge should deny the Plaintiffs’ Steering Committee’s (PSC) request for a trial structure in which one jury would hear evidence for multiple plaintiffs because consolidating multiple plaintiffs into a single trial “would have the profound and unfairly prejudicial effect to DuPont of validating the plaintiffs’ claims of both liability and harm” (In re E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Co. C8 Personal Injury Litigation, MDL No. 2433, No. 13-2433, S.D. Ohio)....
