In recent news about the dangers of exposure to asbestos on the job, an appeals court says the widow of a manufacturing machine shop worker can sue a company that supplied brake parts containing asbestos for causing his death.

The court reportedly reinstated a lawsuit filed by the woman, whose husband died from mesothelioma in 2004, decades after machine shop auto body work.

The lawsuit claims her husband developed the asbestos cancer mesothelioma after working at a machine shop where he ground brake linings into specific shapes to be installed in automobiles.

The court says she can sue the supplier of the linings for negligence for failing to warn that the parts contained asbestos and could be dangerous.

Reports have indicated that many mechanics and machine shop employees in automotive repair, as well as do-it-yourselfers, are unaware that asbestos may be present in both old and replacement brakes and clutches.

Although the use of asbestos in friction products in machine shops is declining annually, it remains a substantial source of potential exposure.
