Mesothelioma Questions Answered

The horror of the disease and death directly linked to asbestos would never have occurred if companies had only chosen people over profits.
Tragically, manufacturers of asbestos products and the companies that marketed them knew, or should have known, that their wares were going to cause the ill health and ultimately early death of thousands of unknowing Americans.

Although it was no mystery to these companies that diseases such as mesothelioma would occur over the ensuing years and decades it was information that was not shared with those that would be affected by it.
The implications of coming in to contact with asbestos was well documented in medical literature from the earliest days that the fiber was added to manufacturing processes.
Additionally, many of the companies had first hand experience from events at their own factories that disease and death would ensue from contact with asbestos.
Even with all of this terrifying proof, some asbestos companies expanded their range of products with asbestos or increased production of current products
For other companies - that had been directly advised by medical experts that asbestos exposure would cause lung such as malignant mesothelioma - they began making products with asbestos for the very first time.
All of these companies had made the choice to put profits over the health of the American people.
