Work as a handyman involves risk of developing mesothelioma

Handyman and mesothelioma risk

It has been reported that a former handyman won $2 million from a mesothelioma lawsuit. As a handyman, the man had worked with asbestos-containing pipe and joint compounds. In the course of working with asbestos containing products, the man inhaled asbestos fibers that led to the development of mesothelioma years later.

The former handyman's lawsuit alleged that the asbestos containing products that he worked with did not carry adequate warnings concerning the lethal dangers of asbestos. The handyman alleged that the lack of adequate warnings caused him to become exposed to asbestos and develop mesothelioma cancer.
