Opinion

LAMBDEN, J.

These consolidated appeals arise out of claims of personal injury and wrongful death allegedly caused from exposure to asbestos. In one action, John Hansen filed suit in California against Owens-Coming Fiberglas Corporation (OC) and 199 other named defendants, alleging personal injury from his own exposure to asbestos. In another, he and his children filed a wrongful death and survival suit in California, against the same defendants, on behalf of his deceased wife, Mary, alleging her injury and death resulting from secondhand exposure to asbestos.
