Some Zonolite insulation in Canada contained asbestos. Our lawyers can help.

If Zonolite containing asbestos in Canada caused your mesothelioma or lung cancer, consider legal resources.

Vermiculite ore is a naturally occurring mineral that is mined around the world. From the early 1920s to the mid-1980s, vermiculite ore was processed and used as cheap, easy-to-use housing insulation, according to Health Canada.

Until 1984, most of the vermiculite ore used to produce home insulation in Canada came from a mine in Libby, Montana, in the United States of America.

The insulation was sold in Canada under the brand name, Zonolite®. It was later discovered that the vermiculite ore from this source contained amphibole asbestos.

When breathed in, airborne asbestos fibres, such as those in dust, can cause serious lung diseases and cancer.
