Cetrulo LLP prevailed on a contested summary judgment motion in Suffolk County, Massachusetts. Cetrulo’s client allegedly supplied benzene-containing chemicals which were incorporated into a product which Plaintiff claimed caused his myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Plaintiff asserted claims of negligence, breach of express and implied warranties, loss of consortium and violation of M.G.L. Chapter 93A. Cetrulo moved for summary judgment, primarily arguing that Plaintiff’s claims were barred because a jury would have to speculate as to which supplier’s chemicals were used in the end-product and by virtue of Massachusetts’ rejection of market share liability. The Superior Court agreed, rejecting Plaintiff’s proposal to shift the burden of proof to the defendant, and dismissed Plaintiff’s Complaint. Michael J. Cahalane and Kelsey A. Taber defended the case for Cetrulo.
