The record
The Connecticut Supreme Court affirmed an appellate judgment in insurance-coverage litigation brought by a company that mined and sold industrial talc alleged to contain asbestos.
Claim scope
A state supreme court decision documenting the scale of asbestos-in-talc liability through the insurance-coverage litigation it generated. Disposition: 'we conclude that the Appellate Court's comprehensive opinion properly resolved these significant issues, we affirm the judgment of the Appellate Court.'
What this source does not establish
Nothing about asbestos content — the syllabus itself says 'allegedly contained asbestos.' This is a coverage-allocation dispute between an insured and its insurers, not a product-defect adjudication.
Limitations
Reporter cite 333 Conn. 343 DIRECTLY INDEXED. Industrial talc (Gouverneur, NY district), not cosmetic.
