In determining proximate cause, the point beyond which the law declines to trace a series of events that exist along a chain signifying actual causation is a matter of fair judgment and a rough sense of justice. Doe v. Manheimer, 212 Conn. 748, 757-8 (1989). Proof of causation in any product- related claim under Connecticut law demands, at a minimum, that "a plaintiff must: 1) identify an asbestos-containing product for which a defendant is responsible, 2) prove that he has suffered damages, and 3) prove that defendant's asbestos-containing product was a substantial factor in causing his damages."
