Maryland court: Employer not responsible for take home exposure to asbestos
Granddaughter who did asbestos worker's laundry suffered lung disease
Maryland’s Court of Appeals has ruled that asbestos companies are not responsible for illnesses suffered by family members of asbestos workers who brought the substance home with them in their clothing prior to 1972.
The ruling overturned a $5 million verdict to a woman who was diagnosed with malignant mesothelioma in 2006.
