Beryllium Exposure • Duty of Care • Family Relationships • “Take-Home” Exposure
Schwartz v. Accuratus Corp., PICS Case No. 17-0713 (E.D. Pa. March 30, 2017) Shmehl, J. (13 pages).
Court applied the new legal standard set forth during the appeals process to defendant’s motion to dismiss plaintiff’s negligence action, based on her exposure to beryllium particulates that her boyfriend carried home on his clothes, and found that the nature of the toxic substance and the relationships in the case were sufficient to generate a duty. Motion denied.
