Description

ALICE M. BATCHELDER, Circuit Judge. Plaintiffs, three employees of defendants, and their wives, filed a complaint in District Court on October 11, 1991, claiming the plaintiffs (including their wives and children) suffered neurological injuries and illness caused by their exposure to chemicals at the workplace, primarily a chemical known as "TDI." They claimed that the defendants "actively practiced fraud upon the plaintiffs" by failing to warn them of the dangers of contamination and by maintaining a hazardous work environment of which the plaintiffs were unaware. The complaint included a loss of consortium claim on behalf of the wives. The same three employees had each earlier filed state workers' compensation claims, and received benefits, for respiratory problems they said were caused by chemical exposure.
