Text: 10 Mrs. Becker's deceased husband worked as a marine machinist at Oregon Shipbuilding in Portland during World War II until 1946. He was exposed to numerous asbestos products, and eventually developed lung cancer and asbestosis. 11 The jury in Mrs. Becker's case awarded $104,431.92 in economic damages and $32,700 in noneconomic damages. It apportioned 34% of fault to the decedent Becker, 34% to Manville, 24% to Fibreboard Corporation, and 8% to O-I. The jury awarded punitive damages against Fibreboard and O-I in the amounts of $150,000 each, but these awards were set aside because the district court had previously granted Fibreboard's and O-I's motions for a directed verdict on the punitive damage claims.
