Shell Oil sold products to Brown & Bryant, Inc. (B & B), an agricultural chemical distribution business. B & B was what many characterized as a "sloppy" operator. Shell provided guidelines to its distributors, including B & B, for handling its products. Shell also inspected one of B & B's facilities and requested that the company make operational changes. B & B promised to make the changes but did not follow through. B & B went bankrupt, and state and federal authorities found contaminated soil on B & B's largest site. Both the EPA and state agencies sought to recover the cost of cleanup for the B & B site from Shell. Shell maintains that it did not spill the chemicals, could not control the behavior of B & B, and therefore could not be held liable. Is Shell correct?
