VI Responds to Center for Biological Diversity Lawsuit
Aug. 27, 2021
The claims in a recent lawsuit by The Center for Biological Diversity (CBD) are inaccurate, misleading, and misinformed. What’s more, the lawsuit itself is a carbon copy of the exact same claims CBD made back in 2014, and their assertions are as unsupported and misguided today as they were seven years ago. The facts are indisputable: PVC is inert, responsibly produced, and governments around the globe have recognized that PVC has been used safely in consumer and commercial applications for the past 50 years. We at the Vinyl Institute call on the EPA to once again dismiss these false claims about PVC as they did during the Obama Administration. PVC is a quality product of choice that continues to improve the way we live our daily lives.
