This opinion is uncorrected and subject to revision before publication in the New York Reports. Richard J. Lippes, for Appellants. William E. Nitterauer, for Respondent Town Insulation. Preclusion ordered, for Respondent Scientific Applications. Plaintiffs seek to recover damages for injuries they allegedly sustained as a result of emissions from urea-formaldehyde foam insulation installed in their home in 1977.
Defendants are the manufacturers and installers of the insulation.
The sole issue is whether plaintiffs' causes of action for personal injuries are barred by the three-year Statute of Limitations. We therefore affirm. In February 1977, plaintiff Pauline Snyder contracted with defendant Town Insulation to have Rapco brand insulation installed at the home she shared with her son, plaintiff Richard Snyder. The insulation was blown into the walls of the house on March 29, 1977. It was not until 1981, however, when the Federal government banned the sale of urea-formaldehyde foam insulation, that the Snyders learned of the emissions and that health hazards were associated with the product.
