01-1518 Anderson v. Combustion Engineering, Inc.

By: dmc-admin//May 28, 2002//

Listen to this article

“Indeed, Combustion Engineering conceded in oral argument that there is no safe threshold for exposure to asbestos in connection with mesothelioma. The jury was free to disregard Combustion Engineering’s contention that Mr. Anderson’s exposure to its asbestos was too low to cause his cancer. …

“Combustion Engineering offers us nothing other than rhetoric to support its argument that the jury’s fixing its responsibility for Mr. Anderson’s cancer at twenty-nine percent was an erroneous exercise of the jury’s discretion.”

Judgment and orders affirmed.
