Levy Konigsberg LLP Upholds $3.3M Verdict Against Whittaker Clark & Daniels, Inc. for Toxic Talcum Powder
“On April 9th, 2020 the New York Supreme Court, Appellate Division, First Department, affirmed the trial court’s decision in Nemeth v. Brenntag North America, et al., Case No. 9765, New York County Index No. 190138/14, denying the defendant’s post-trial motions,” reports Levy Konigsberg LLP in Benziga’s PRNewsWire.
“The plaintiffs, Florence and Frank Nemeth of Lake Ronkonkoma, New York, sued several manufacturers and distributors of asbestos-containing products, including a distributor of talcum powder named Whittaker Clark & Daniels, Inc. (“WCD”), after Florence was diagnosed with mesothelioma following years of using talcum powder in a product called Desert Flower, the talc for which WCD had sourced from asbestos-containing mines.”
“Florence succumbed to the disease before trial, and was survived by her husband Frank and their two children and four grandchildren.”
