ELR Citation: ELR 21428
No(s). 87-2102 (6th Cir. May 7, 1990)

Following the precedent established by another panel, the court holds that emissions produced by an insured as byproducts of its production of curene 442 are not "sudden and accidental" under an insurance policy's pollution exclusion clause. The insurer thus has no duty to defend the insured.
