The decedent (died 2003) Mr. Latin, was exposed to PVC resin in the late 60's and 70's.

He was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2001 as a result (he claims) by his exposure to a gas called vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) released by polyvinyl (PVC) resin manufactured by Goodrich.

 

Defense claims that there is a causal link between a rare form of cancer of the liver and VCM but no meical literature to suppost the claim of brain cancer caused by VCM.

 

Further, defendant claims that they did not supply any PVC resin in the packaging at the facility where Mr. Latin claims he was exposed.

Defendant claims that the evidence will show that the bulk supply of packaging supplied at the facility in 1966 and later was supplied by truck by Borden and Tenneco.

 

Mr. Latin claims he was exposed from 1965-1968. According to the defendant, all airmeasurement testing demonstrates that, at worst, Mr. Latin was exposed to vvery low levels of VCM.
