jurisdiction, and that this defendant was and is authorized to do and/or was and is doing
business in the State of California, and regularly conducted or conducts business in the County
of San Francisco, State of California. At times relevant ta this cause of action, MET LIFE was
an insurer of J-M.
228. Plaintiff, was exposed to asbestos-containing dust created by the use of the
asbestos products manufactured, distributed and/or supplied by J-M. This exposure to the
asbestos or asbestos-related products supplied by J-M caused Plaintiff's asbestos-related
disease and injuries.
229. Starting in 1928, MET LIFE sponsored studies of asbestos dust and asbestos-
related disease in Canadian mines and mills, including those of J-M. Those studies revealed
that miners and mill workers were contracting asbestosis at relatively low levels of dust.
McGill University, which conducted the studies, sought permission from MET LIFE to publish
the results but they were never published, MET LIFE prepared its own report of these studies.
230. Between 1929 and 1931, MET LIFE studied dust levels and disease at five U.S.
plants manufacturing asbestos-containing products, including a J-M plant. Those studies
showed that workers in substantial numbers were contracting asbestosis, at levels less than
what became the Threshold Limit Value (“TLV”) of Smppef. The MET LIFE report was never
published or disseminated except to plant owners, including J-M.
231. In 1932, MET LIFE studied dust levels and disease at the J-M plant at Manville,
New Jersey. Results were consistent with those of the Canadian and previous U.S. plant
studies. They were never published.
232. In 1934, J-M and others whose plants MET LIFE had studied agreed with MET
LIFE that it should issue a report of its studies,
233. MET LIFE submitted a draft of its report to J-M. J-M requested, for legal and
business reasons, that certain critical parts of the draft be changed. MET LIFE’s official in
charge was Lanza. MET LIFE through Lanza did make changes that J-M requested, including:
(a) Deletion of MET LIFE’s conclusion that the permissible dust level for asbestos
should be less than that for silica;

(b) Addition of the phrase that asbestosis clinically appeared to be milder than-
silicosis.
The report, thus altered, was published in 1935. It was misleading, and intentionally so,
because it conveyed the incorrect propositions that asbestosis was a Jess serious disease process
than silicosis and that higher levels of asbestos dust could be tolerated without contracting
diseases than was the case for silica dust. :
234. MET LIFE had a close relationship with J-M. It invested money in J-M, It
provided group health and life insurance to JM. MET LIFE IN 1934 agreed to supply
industrial hygiene services to J-M, including dust counts, training employees to monitor dust
levels, examining employees, and recommending protective equipment. MET LIFE and Lanza
were viewed as experts on industrial dusts.
235. In 1933, MET LIFE through Lanza issued the following advices to J-M:
(a) Disagreeing with the recommendation of a J-M plant physician, MET LIFE
advised against warning workers of the fact that asbestos dust is hazardous to
their health, basing its advice in view of the extraordinary legal situation;
(b) | When the plant physician judged the best disposition of an employee with
asbestosis was to remove him from the dust, MET LIFE advised instead that
disposition should depend on his age, nature of work and other factors and to
leave him alone if he is old and showing no disability, for, MET LIFE stated,
economic and production factors must be balanced against medical factors.
236. J-M followed the MET LIFE advices and did not wam its workers, including
plaintiff, of the hazards of asbestos dust, and J-M also intentionally refrained from notifying
workers of their disease.
237, In 1936, MET LIFE, J-M and others founded the Air Hygiene Foundation
(“AHF”), One of the AHF purposes was to develop standards for dust levels that would serve
as a defense in lawsuits and workers’ compensation claims.
238. MET LIFE funded partially another study that tentatively recommended in 1938 a
TLV for asbestos dust of Smpecf, the same as for silica dust. MET LIFE was aware of data

te
from its own, unpublished reports that showed that level was too high for asbestos dust. MET
LIFE nonetheless promoted that TLV as proper.
239. In June 1947, the Industrial Hygiene Foundation (“LHF”) which succeeded to the
AHF, issued a report of studies by Dr. Hemeon of U.S. asbestos plants, including a J-M plant.
That report showed that workers exposed to less than the recommended maximum levels of
dust were developing disease. MET LIFE was a member of the [HF and Laviza was on its
medical committee. The Hemeon report, which was supplied to J-M and other owners, never
was published.
240, In 1936, J-M and other asbestos companies agreed with a leading medical research
facility, Saranac Laboratories, that Saranac would research asbestos disease, but J-M and the
others retained control over publication of the results. In 1943 Saranac’s Dr. Leroy Gardner, in
charge of the research, sent a draft to J-M that revealed that 81.8% of mice exposed to long
fiber asbestos contracted cancer. :
241. Dr. Gardner died in 1946, J-M and other companies wanted parts of the Saranac
results published and enlisted the assistance of MET LIFE’s Lanza. J-M and other companies
decided that Saranae’s findings of cancer caused by asbestos in mice must be deleted, as well as
Saranac’s critique of existing dust standards. Lanza directed Saranac to delete the offending
materials. Saranac did so, and the altered report was published in 195} by Saranac’s Dr.
Vorwald, in the AMA Archives of Industrial Hygiene.
242. Lanza left MET LIFE at the end of 1948, and took a position at New York
University, funded by MET LIFE. He continued to misrepresent that asbestos does not cause
cancer into the 1950s.
243. The JHF (formerly AHF), of which MET LIFE was a member and MET LIFE
official was on its medical committee, through Drs. Braun and Truan conducted a study of
Canadian miners. The original report, in 1957, found an increased incidence of lung cancer in
persons exposed to asbestos. The sponsors, including J-M, caused those findings to be stricken,
and the report published in 1958 contained the false conclusion that asbestos exposure alone
did not increase the risk of lung cancer.

244, The false and misleading reports that a link between asbestos exposure and cancer
was not proven influenced the TLV, for if a substance causes cancer the TLV must be very low
or zero.
245. J-M not later than 1933 was inflicting asbestos dust on its workers in its plants
knowing that the dust was hazardous and was causing workers to contract disease that could
and would disable and kill them. As MET LIFE advised, J-M did not warn its workers of the
hazard. J-M committed battery on workers in its plants, including plaintiff, by that conduct,
246. MET LIFE knew that J-M’s conduct constituted a breach of its duties to its
workers, MET LIFE gave substantial assistance to J-M in committing batteries on its workers,
including plaintiff, through MET LIFE’s conduct described above, including by:
{a) Affirmatively urging J-M noi to warn workers of the hazards of asbestos dust, in
view of the extraordinary Jegal situation, such that J-M did not warn its workers,
including plaintiff,
(b) Deleting the findings of its own draft report that the allowable limits for asbestos
dust should be less than those for silica dust, and promoting a false and unsafe
TLV which specified maximum levels of silica dust, and promoting a false and
unsafe TLV which specified maximum levels of dust for workers, including
plaintiff, which MET LIFE knew was wrong through its own studies;
(c) . Advising J-M to keep certain workers continuing to work at dusty areas in the
plant even after J-M was aware that their Jungs showed asbestos-induced
changes, lest other workers including plaintiff be alerted to the dangers of
working in the dust.
WHEREFORE, plaintiff prays judgment as is hereinafter set forth.”
