Kaiser Gypsum's Amended Responses to Plaintiffs' Master Interrogatories in Dallas County (1992)

Kaiser Gypsum Company's amended responses to the plaintiffs' master interrogatories and request for production in the Dallas County, Texas asbestos cases (160th Judicial District), served on July 27, 1992. Kaiser answers subject to its special appearances contesting jurisdiction, says it has made and sold nothing in the United States since 1978, and answers from retained records and former employees. After a motion to compel, it agreed to extend its answers from the two products it sold in Texas from 1961 to 1971 to all of its asbestos-containing products.
