• dismissing trespass claim “because the plaintiff was the one placing the asbestos products in the schools and other public buildings[]’
• dismissing city’s trespass claim against asbestos manufacturer and concluding their ownership and control of the product ceased at the time of sale, at which time plaintiff placed the products in public buildings
• “The defendants, after the time of manufacture and sale, no longer had the power to abate the nuisance. Therefore, a basic element of the tort of nuisance is absent, and the plaintiff cannot succeed on this theory of relief.”
