Torts — product liability — asbestos

June Calewarts appeals summary judgments dismissing her respective claims against CR Meyer and Sons Company; International Paper Company and Thilmany, LLC; and Colonial Heights Packaging, Inc. and Philip Morris USA, Inc. We agree with Calewarts that there are disputed issues of material fact that preclude summary judgment, except as to Philip Morris USA. We therefore affirm the judgment as to Philip Morris USA and reverse and remand for further proceedings as to the remaining defendants. Not recommended for publication in the official reports.
