Automotive products such as brake pads contain asbestos

It is an unfortunate fact that many people in the automotive industry have been exposed to asbestos without even being aware of it. Asbestos is a deadly substance that is used in a wide range of products such as brake pads, shingles, insulation material and boilers.

Shockingly, asbestos manufacturers hid the dangers of asbestos because asbestos is inexpensive and therefore, helps to minimize costs.

Asbestos exposure is known to cause cancer. Specifically, it has been linked to mesothelioma, lung cancer and asbestosis. Below are some automotive products that contain asbestos:

Brake shoes and pads
Clutch facings
Body fillers
Mufflers
Transmission components
Undercoating
