You Made the Products.
They Hid the Danger
Were You Exposed to Asbestos in a Manufacturing Job? Get the Help You Deserve.
From the 1940s through the late 1980s, asbestos was used in countless manufacturing processes, as insulation, filler, or reinforcement in equipment and products. Workers handled asbestos daily in everything from textile mills to chemical plants.
What seemed like “just dust” at the time was often deadly asbestos fibers, inhaled with every breath.
THE HISTORY OF ASBESTOS
What Powered Production Also Poisoned the People Behind It
As early as the 1900s, asbestos became a staple in U.S. manufacturing thanks to its heat resistance, strength, and low cost.
It was widely used in insulation, brake linings, gaskets, textiles, cement, and electrical components making its way into factories, machinery, and everyday products.
By the 1930s, medical journals were already linking asbestos exposure to lung disease, yet its use continued to surge during World War II and into the 1970s.
Despite mounting evidence of health risks, manufacturers rarely warned their workers.
As a result, countless factory employees unknowingly inhaled asbestos dust daily and today, many face life-threatening illnesses like mesothelioma and asbestosis, often decades after exposure
The Harm Took Decades to Show
But It Was Always There
Asbestos wasn’t just in the materials. It was in the air, the machines, and the very buildings workers trusted. These roles faced the highest risk of exposure.Even bystanders weren’t safe

What is mesothelioma?Mesothelioma is a rare and aggressive cancer that forms in the lining of the lungs, abdomen, or heart. It’s almost always caused by inhaling or swallowing asbestos fibers, often decades before symptoms appear.
-
How common is mesothelioma in the U.S.?About 3,000 new cases of mesothelioma are diagnosed in the United States each year. While rare, it remains a serious public health issue due to long latency periods and past widespread asbestos use.
-
Who is most at risk of developing mesothelioma?People who worked in construction, shipyards, manufacturing, military service, automotive repair, or mining before the 1980s face the highest risk. Family members exposed secondhand are also vulnerable.
-
What are the early symptoms of mesothelioma?Early signs include chest pain, shortness of breath, chronic coughing, fatigue, and weight loss. Symptoms often resemble less serious illnesses, which can delay diagnosis until the disease is advanced.
-
Do I need to remember where I was exposed to asbestos?Not necessarily. Experienced legal teams can investigate your job history, industry practices, and known asbestos sites to help identify the likely source of exposure.
-
How is mesothelioma diagnosed?Diagnosis typically involves imaging scans (like X-rays or CT scans), blood tests, and a biopsy to confirm the presence of cancerous cells. Because symptoms mimic other illnesses, accurate diagnosis often requires a mesothelioma specialist.
