UNITED STATES JUDICIAL PANEL

on

MULTIDISTRICT LITIGATION

IN RE: AQUEOUS FILM−FORMING FOAMS

PRODUCTS LIABILITY LITIGATION MDL No. 2873

(SEE ATTACHED SCHEDULE)

CONDITIONAL TRANSFER ORDER (CTO −25)

On December 7, 2018, the Panel transferred 75 civil action(s) to the United States District Court for

the District of South Carolina for coordinated or consolidated pretrial proceedings pursuant to 28

U.S.C. § 1407. See 357 F.Supp.3d 1391 (J.P.M.L. 2018). Since that time, 48 additional action(s)

have been transferred to the District of South Carolina. With the consent of that court, all such

actions have been assigned to the Honorable Richard M. Gergel.

It appears that the action(s) on this conditional transfer order involve questions of fact that are

common to the actions previously transferred to the District of South Carolina and assigned to Judge

Gergel.

Pursuant to Rule 7.1 of the Rules of Procedure of the United States Judicial Panel on Multidistrict

Litigation, the action(s) on the attached schedule are transferred under 28 U.S.C. § 1407 to the

District of South Carolina for the reasons stated in the order of December 7, 2018, and, with the

consent of that court, assigned to the Honorable Richard M. Gergel.

This order does not become effective until it is filed in the Office of the Clerk of the United States

District Court for the District of South Carolina. The transmittal of this order to said Clerk shall be

stayed 7 days from the entry thereof. If any party files a notice of opposition with the Clerk of the

Panel within this 7−day period, the stay will be continued until further order of the Panel.
