Did exposure to asbestos in fire blankets cause cancer? We can offer a free lawsuit assessment of your case.

Fire blankets are useful to combat small fires in homes and even laboratories. Unfortunately, some of them were made with asbestos and people were exposed to the harmful fibers and dust when using and removing them.

The blankets, which are very popular, are made of non-flammable materials and are able to put out fires that can’t be put out with water, including grease/oil fires and electrical fires.

Older fire blankets are made of asbestos, and while these are non-flammable, they are hazardous and should be disposed of carefully.

Many people have come forward to say their exposure to asbestos in everyday products such as fire blankets led to a diagnosis of mesothelioma, asbestosis or lung cancer from asbestos.

If this has been your experience, we may be able to help.

For over two decades, Weitz & Luxenberg P.C. has handled some of the most legally complicated and groundbreaking asbestos litigation in the country. Men and women diagnosed with mesothelioma or lung cancer caused by asbestos exposure or secondary exposure may be entitled to compensation from the companies responsible for their disease.
