Products Containing Asbestos
Asbestos based products have been used in the United States since as early as the industrial revolution. Due to its flexibility, durability and relatively inexpensive nature to produce, asbestos was a popular material used in the construction and manufacturing industries. Throughout the twentieth century, the trend of using asbestos based products continued and it has been estimated that more than 30 million tons of asbestos was used in industrial facilities, homes, schools, shipyards, steel mills, power plants and commercial buildings in the United States.
With thousands of products, including home construction materials, paper goods, engines, automobiles, and even household items containing asbestos, millions of people were exposed to the deadly mineral for decades before the government stepped in and banned the mineral from commercial use. In December 1977, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission banned the use of asbestos-containing patching compounds and artificial fireplace ash products. Since the early 1980s, many countries have followed suit and banned certain forms of asbestos from building and commercial use, but even today an estimated 5,000 asbestos-containing products are still evident worldwide.
Given the increased risk of lung cancer and mesothelioma, it is important to speak with a medical professional if you or a loved one worked in or around asbestos-based products. It is your right to learn the facts about asbestos and the millions of people that were affected by its gross misuse. Coady Law is dedicated to delivering the highest caliber of legal services to workers, veterans and other individuals injured by asbestos products.
Set forth below is a comprehensive list of products that have been known to contain asbestos. Please note that no one was exposed to all of them, and most people were never exposed to the vast majority of these products. However, for those products used where a person was exposed, it does not take a significant amount of exposure to substantially contribute to the cause of an individual's mesothelioma.
