Are you a laboratory technician who was exposed to asbestos? Our mesothelioma lawyers offer free case reviews.

In recent news about the dangers of asbestos, a former laboratory technician filed an asbestos claim against dozens of companies, after receiving a diagnosis of mesothelioma.

He is seeking a financial settlement to help cover the mounting medical bills from his mesothelioma diagnosis.

He says he worked from 1946 until 1995 as a laboratory technician at various locations.

Unfortunately, many older laboratories and chemical work areas have products containing asbestos.

They include fire blankets, fume-hood linings, workbenches and Bunsen burner pads.

Asbestos was also used in school laboratories, workshops and science classes.

Among other products, asbestos was found in bunsen burner stands, wool, cement sheeting, ironing boards, gloves and fireblankets, all of which were either heated, manhandled, cut or abraded. This would have released asbestos fibers.

Many laboratory technicians have come forward to say their work environment led to a diagnosis of mesothelioma, asbestosis or lung cancer from asbestos.
