5018 REVIEW GRANTED. A former mechanic exposed to asbestos from valves designed for use with asbestos packing, gaskets, and insulation did not have causes of action against the manufacturer of the valves for strict products liability and negligence where the original asbestos packing supplied by the manufacturer had been replaced, and where it was pure speculation that the mechanic had ever been exposed to the original asbestos.
