We represented Arcadian Corporation, a fertilizer manufacturer, in a suit brought in the name of the Port Authority by the Port Authority’s subrogated insurance carriers. The carriers sought to hold certain fertilizer manufacturers liable under a products liability theory for property damage sustained by the Port Authority as a result of the 1993 terrorist bombing of the World Trade Center. The World Trade Center’s repair costs totaled several hundred million dollars. We obtained a dismissal of the Port Authority’s claims against Arcadian, and in 1999, the U.S. Third Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the dismissal.
