January 2012 - DRI's Toxic Tort and Environmental Law Newsletter

“Take-home” claims are those asserted on behalf of claimants that have never set foot on the premises but allegedly were exposed to asbestos through their spouses or others who brought it home on their clothing. They are also commonly referenced as “household,” “bystander,” “secondary,” or “second-hand” exposure claims. This article focuses on “take-home” claims asserted against premises owners, which is the most recent annual monograph by the authors analyzing decisions from all jurisdictions that have ruled on such claims. To read the article, click here.
