Sick plaintiffs don't need even the vaguest recollection of using an asbestos product to drag its manufacturer into court, according to a California appeals court. The court overturned a San Francisco judge's ruling, siding with plaintiff Joseph Weber, who had developed mesothelioma from exposure to asbestos and died six months ago. The defense had seized on the fact that Weber said in 2004 that he couldn't recall whether he came into contact with asbestos while working on or around naval ships in the '60s.
