Aug. 23, 2000, San Francisco Superior Court, Case Number:  301375

Description of Case:  Christine Perez was exposed to asbestos through her work as a pipe hanger and also as a homemaker.  She worked at Moore Dry Dock in Oakland, California, during the war effort as a pipe hanger on ships, using Kaylo asbestos containing insulation products.  Her husband, Charles, was a commercial plumber who came home from work each day with asbestos fibers clinging to his clothing, which Christine came into contact with while doing the family laundry.  At the time, this was the highest jury verdict award for compensatory damages for an asbestos case in California.

Resolution:  $10.3 million verdict against Owens-Illinois, Incorporated

Economic damages:  $350,000 to Christine Perez
