Description
WALSH, J. In this products liability action a former asbestos worker seeks recovery for certain pulmonary ailments he sustained as the result of his alleged exposure to asbestos products manufactured or distributed by the primary defendants, Keene Corporation, Armstrong Cork Company, Atlas Asbestos Corporation and Gale Corporation. Plaintiff's wife also seeks recovery, derivatively for loss of consortium and directly for alleged asbestos contamination as a result of handling her husband's clothing. Two of the primary defendants, Gale and Armstrong, have joined as third-party defendants a number of additional manufacturers and distributors of asbestos material whose products may have come into contact with the husband-plaintiff during his work life, as well as three entities which employed him. These former employers, Armstrong Contracting & Supply Corp. (AC&S), Catalytic, Inc. (Catalytic) and Babcock and Wilcox Company (Babcock) have moved for summary judgment on the ground that any claim for contribution or indemnification is barred by the exclusive remedy provision of the Delaware Workmen's Compensation Act. 1
