We've got the same product listed in 3 different categories, but the product record only shows a single category with no "additional categories" ... furthermore, I thought a product can't be in a category and sub-category at the same time, but here's a contradiction ... the following 3 URLS resolve to the same page, but suggest the same product is in 3 different categories with 3 different bread crumb trails ... but is is NOT?!:
https://www.graetzmfg.com/proddetail.asp?prod=12_inch_Pattern_447_Angle_Flite_-_CCW_-_RIGHT_HAND
Home » Barn Cleaner - Material Mover » Gutter Chain » Standard Heavy Duty Chain - Angle Low Flites

https://www.graetzmfg.com/proddetail.asp?prod=12_inch_Pattern_447_Angle_Flite_-_CCW_-_RIGHT_HAND&cat=14
Home » Barn Cleaner - Material Mover » Gutter Chain

https://www.graetzmfg.com/proddetail.asp?prod=12_inch_Pattern_447_Angle_Flite_-_CCW_-_RIGHT_HAND&cat=10
Home » Barn Cleaner - Material Mover

The end result is HUNDREDS of duplicate titles and meta descriptions, which we'd like to eliminate ... any suggestions?

Thanks!

I am guessing you are seeing these in your google webmaster tools account?
If so, you can usually see where those links are coming from.
The "cat=14" has no affect on the proddetail page and would be ignored.
you could add anything there to the address and the page will resolve just fine

https://www.graetzmfg.com/proddetail.asp?prod=12_inch_Pattern_447_Angle_Flite_-_CCW_-_RIGHT_HAND&cat=anything&dog=something&rabbit=fast
would work too

I think you just need to find out where that's being linked from.
