EDWARD WALTON v. WILLIAM POWELL COMPANY
Respondents Edward and Carol Walton asserted claims for negligence and strict liability against appellant The William Powell Company (Powell), alleging that asbestos-laden materials associated with valves made by Powell injured Edward Walton. After the jury returned a verdict in the Waltons favor, a judgment was entered awarding them $5,660,624.39 in damages. We conclude that because Edward Waltons injuries stemmed entirely from exposure to asbestos-laden products for which Powell is not liable, Court must reverse.
