Over the past 40 years more than 6000 asbestos companies and manufacturers have been named in asbestos lawsuits.
People suffering from mesothelioma cancer almost always have experienced exposure to asbestos decades prior to being diagnosed. In many cases, the exposure to asbestos occurred in the workplace. Workers such as shipyard workers, power plant workers, oil refinery workers, mechanics, construction workers, electricians, carpenters, plumbers, sheet metal workers and boilermakers worked with or near asbestos containing products. Asbestos was used in thousands of products because it is strong, flexible and heat resistant. Some asbestos products are: insulation, tiles, adhesives, cement, brakes, clutches, gaskets, pipe covering, pipe insulation and cement wallboard.
