California Court of Appeal

Dismissal of an action for negligence, negligence per se, strict liability, and loss of consortium, alleging that plaintiff's exposure to defendant's products during his employment at a metal foundry caused his pulmonary fibrosis is: 1) affirmed in part, as to the claim for negligence per se; but 2) reversed in part and remanded as to the remaining causes of action, where the component parts doctrine does not shield a product supplier from liability when a party alleges that he suffered direct injury from using the supplier's product as the supplier specifically intended.
