Description
Plaintiffs seek to recover damages for injuries they allegedly sustained as a result of emissions from ureaformaldehyde 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. Because plaintiffs conceded before the trial court that the date of discovery rule of CPLR 214-c should not apply retroactively to their claims, resolution of that question turns on whether accrual under CPLR 214 is measured from the date of injury or from the date of last exposure. We agree with the courts below that the date of injury rule applies and that the causes of action were time-barred. We therefore affirm.
