4318 REVIEW DENIED Under the delayed discovery rule, the statute of limitations is tolled until plaintiff has, or the reasonable person in plaintiff's shoes would have, an actual suspicion of the cause of action; such a suspicion is not imputed to plaintiff; the fact that information appeared in media reports is not significant unless it can be shown that plaintiff was aware of those reports; Code of Civil Procedure section 340.8, which specifically provides that media reports do not alone place a person on notice that illness resulted from exposure to hazardous substances, applies to toxic chemicals as well as environmental hazards.CitationNELSON v INDEVUS (Fen-phen) 142 CA4 1202 [See: CCP 340.8; Jolly v Eli Lilly 44 C3 1103]
