In recent asbestos verdicts, a jury awarded the family of a deceased woman more than $2 million related to her exposure to asbestos and resulting mesothelioma cancer.

She contracted mesothelioma after being exposed to asbestos when she laundered the clothing of her first husband, a worker at a former asbestos and rubber company.

She worked at the plant during the 1950s.

Her attorneys argued that the company conspired to suppress information about the hazards of asbestos.

The lawyers alleged that the company agreed not to warn employees and customers about those dangers.

The plant manufactured asbestos rubber sheets (CAF Jointing Sheet), which were made of asbestos, rubber and other chemical materials.

They were formed by rolling after special mixture treatment.

The product was made for sealing and heat-insulation used in industries such as machinery, automobiles, farm, machinery and petroleum.

Many people who washed the work clothes of someone who worked with asbestos have come forward to say their home environment led to a secondary-exposure diagnosis of mesothelioma, asbestosis or lung cancer from asbestos.
