' UNION CARBIDE CORPORATION Law 0 partment BeM>k 39 Old Ridgebury Road Danbury, Conn cticut 06817 May 17, 1989 BY HAND J. R. Downey, Esq. E3 Re: Holmes v. Akso Chemie America, Noury Chemicals, Inc. et al. including Union Carbide Corporation and Brooks v. Union Carbide Corporation Dear John: Enclosed please find two new cases received by the Law Department recently. The former is a chemical soup case relating to solvent and other chemcial exposure. It should be charged to SCMD. In addition, since it names a panoply of companies, I suggest you call Dow, DuPont, ICI, etc., and see if we can join or start a joint defense. The latter is a PVC/VC case alleging that Plaintiff contracted leukemia from exposure to our chemicals. As far as I know, there is no known association between PVC/VC and leukemia. R. C. Wise is the contact for both cases. Norm Duby would be the business contact for the latter. As to the business contact for the former, we will need to await further product identification. Call if I can be of any further assistance. BLW:ce 1190R Enclosures cc: R. P. Lawlor T. J. McGuire T. W. Reitz D. vonEhrenberg ORDER" UCC 086371
