In this asbestos litigation, plaintiffs Bonnie and John Anderson, husband and wife, allege that Bonnie contracted mesothelioma from either one or both exposures to asbestos at the Linden Bayway Refinery, owned by defendant Exxon Mobil Corporation. The first was bystander exposure from laundering John’s asbestos-laden work clothes during his employment with Exxon from 1969 to 2003. The second was direct exposure during Bonnie’s employment with Exxon from 1974 to 1986.
