Litigation  |  OR  |  June 15, 2026

On April 1, 2026 the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon denied motions to intervene in NAW v. Feldon filed by the American Forest and Paper Association (AF&PA) and a group of retail associations (Oregon Business and Industry, the Northwest Grocery Association, and Food Northwest), finding the motions untimely and prejudicial to the expedited July 13, 2026 trial. The court reaffirmed that its February 6, 2026 preliminary injunction shields NAW member companies only; all other producers remain fully subject to Oregon DEQ enforcement.
