Summary:

Dade Mr. Aubin sued Union Carbide, alleging he developed cancer because of exposure to asbestos in joint compounds and ceiling texture sprays that included asbestos sold by Union Carbide. He also argued Union Carbide failed to adequately warn him of the health risks of asbestos. The jury awarded Mr. Aubin damages. Union Carbide appealed and the Third District Court of Appeal overturned the trial court on both legal issues.
