The plaintiff's husband had worked as a lorry driver transporting lead oxide waste. She had washed his overall each day, and had so been exposed to the lead oxide. Held: There was no liability to the wife of an employee suffering exposure to lead dust after handling her husband's contaminated clothes. It was not foreseeable that the extent of exposure to a spouse would be so great as to create a risk. The exposure of the husband himself had been not such as to give rise to liability.
