Sandoval v. American Appliance Mfg
Appellants Rodolfo and San Juana Sandoval asserted claims for negligence, strict liability, premises liability, breach of warranty, and loss of consortium against respondent American Appliance Manufacturing Corp. (AAMC), alleging that Rodolfo’s exposure to asbestos while employed by AAMC resulted in San Juana’s mesothelioma. The trial court granted summary judgment in AAMC’s favor on appellants’ claims, concluding that AAMC owed no duty of care to San Juana and that there was insufficient evidence that she was exposed to asbestos due to AAMC’s employment of Rodolfo. We reverse the grant of summary judgment on the complaint and of summary adjudication on the claims for negligence, strict liability and loss of consortium, and on the request for punitive damages. We affirm summary adjudication on the unchallenged portions of the judgment.
