GE Pyranol PIO = PCB's

I. Background and Procedural History

"Pyranol" is an insulating material once used extensively in electric equipment. Made from polychlorinated biphenyls ("PCBs"), Pyranol was prized for its dielectric properties—i.e., it conducts electricity poorly or not at all—and was widely used in the 1950s and 1960s in the manufacture of transformers, capacitors, and other devices. Time, however, was not kind to Pyranol—as PCBs became associated with serious health risks,1 Pyranol and other products containing these chemicals were stringently regulated and their use in manufacture drastically curtailed. See, e.g., 42 U.S.C. § 9601(14); 15 U.S.C. § 2605(e).
