For sixteen years, Mrs. Dorothy Mae Palmer had been married to an insulator who worked with asbestos

Question:

For sixteen years, Mrs. Dorothy Mae Palmer had been married to an insulator who worked with asbestos products. Mrs. Palmer was not exposed to asbestos dust in a factory setting; rather, she was exposed when her husband brought his work clothes home to be washed. Mrs. Palmer died of mesothelioma. This product liability suit was brought by Mrs. Palmer’s daughters to recover for the alleged wrongful death of their mother. The daughters claim that Mrs. Palmer’s mesothelioma was the result of exposure to asbestos-containing products manufactured by Owens-Corning. The daughters claim that the asbestos products were defective and unreasonably dangerous and that Owens-Corning was negligent in failing to warn of the dangers associated with its products. Explain whether the plaintiffs should prevail.
