In these asbestos cases, peripheral defendants are the ones whose products contained asbestos but weren’t the primary source of exposure. The concerns that typically come up focus on responsibility in a shared-liability system: whether encapsulated asbestos in their product means they shouldn’t be liable because exposure didn’t occur, whether they should bear or help fund liabilities that were largely borne by now-bankrupt manufacturers, and whether it’s fair to hold them to the same level of knowledge about health risks as the major defendants. A federal-immunity defense—being immune from liability due to federal law—does not arise as a standard concern in this context, since there isn’t a general federal shield that automatically absolves peripheral defendants in asbestos litigation. That’s why the statement about immunity under federal law is not listed as a concern, making it the correct choice for NOT being a concern.
