Asbestos industry eyes Third World markets to offset losses in developed countries

The commercial tactics of the asbestos industry are very similar to those of the tobacco industry.

In the absence of international sanctions, losses resulting from reduced cigarette consumption in the developed countries are offset by heavy selling to the Third World.

In similar fashion, the developed world has responded to the asbestos health catastrophe with a progressive ban on the use of asbestos.

In response, the asbestos industry is progressively transferring its commercial activities and the health hazards to the Third World.

The dangers of exposure to asbestos is all too familiar to the attorneys in the Weitz & Luxenberg P.C. Asbestos Litigation unit here in the United States.

We are a leading plaintiffs' law firm that has represented people affected by mesothelioma for over 20 years. 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.
