Strickland v. Union Carbide Corp.
Glen Arthur Strickland, a construction worker for 45 years, died in 2007 from peritoneal mesothelioma. Union Carbide, the manufacturer of Calidria, a chrysotile asbestos product used in certain drywall joint compounds, appeals from the judgment after a jury verdict in favor of Strickland’s widow, Linda Strickland, and their two children (the Strickland family) in this wrongful death action. Union Carbide contends the Strickland family failed to prove exposure to Calidria was a substantial factor contributing to Strickland’s risk of developing peritoneal mesothelioma. We affirm.
