Description
Plaintiffs appeal the district court order granting summary judgment to defendant B. F. Goodrich Company (BFG) in these personal injury and wrongful death actions. In each of the three consolidated cases, the plaintiffs alleged that they and/or their decedents were exposed to toxic chemicals while they or their decedents were employees of BFG at its plant in Louisville, Kentucky. The plaintiffs allege that the defendant intentionally, with wanton disregard for the health of plaintiff and plaintiffs decedents, concealed the serious health hazards associated with working in an environment containing vinyl chloride ("VC"). Plaintiffs allege that exposure to VC resulted in sickness, poisoning and emotional distress. In the cases involving Clarence Peerenboom and Robert Kitterman, plaintiffs allege that exposure to VC resulted in the deaths of Peerenboom and Kitterman. The trial court refused to allow plaintiffs to amend their complaints to assert RICO violations. Furthermore, the trial court dismissed the plaintiffs personal injury and wrongful death actions because they were barred by Kentucky statutes of limitations. We affirm the district courts judgment for the reasons set forth below.
