Many people assume that Asbestos exposure is something that only occurs in an industrial workplace. Unfortunately, hundreds of Asbestos-containing products were manufactured for the purpose of use in the home.
Asbestos exposure lawsuits on behalf of clients are taken on by mesothelioma trial lawyers on a more frequent basis as people come to learn how to diagnose exposure from years ago. Sometimes, companies provided customers with Asbestos products in their do-it-yourself kits for installing home machinery.
For example, some home furnaces historically included installation kits with Asbestos tape and rope. Customers had to punch holes through the Asbestos tape to install the furnace front, and sometimes had to cut the rope before packing it around the furnace body, resulting in Asbestos exposure. Lawsuits against companies who created these products that caused the release of hazardous Asbestos fibers are filed on behalf of clients who had unknowingly been exposed to Asbestos and are now suffering from diseases such as mesothelioma.
Asbestos exposure is the only known cause of mesothelioma, a virulent form of cancer that occurs mainly in the lining of the lungs and stomach. Asbestos can also cause lung cancer, Asbestosis, and other malignant diseases.
