Documented Asbestos Litigation
According to publicly filed asbestos litigation records (reviewed via CourtListener/RECAP), Asbestos Corporation Limited has been named as a defendant in 400+ documented asbestos dockets filed between 2000 and 2025 — concentrated in the federal asbestos multidistrict litigation (In re: Asbestos Products Liability Litigation, MDL 875, E.D. Pennsylvania) and other U.S. district courts. Plaintiffs allege that Asbestos Corporation Limited manufactured or supplied asbestos-containing products — Canadian miner and supplier of raw chrysotile asbestos fiber sold to product manufacturers — and that workers were exposed while handling or working around them.
Companies Frequently Named Alongside Asbestos Corporation Limited
In these publicly filed cases, Asbestos Corporation Limited is most often named as a co-defendant alongside General Electric, CBS, IMO Industries, Crane Co., Ingersoll-Rand, Foster Wheeler, Owens-Illinois, Air & Liquid Systems — reflecting the multi-defendant nature of asbestos litigation, in which plaintiffs name the range of companies connected to their exposure history.
Occupational Exposure and Asbestos Disease
Asbestos exposure is associated with mesothelioma, asbestosis, and asbestos-related lung cancer, typically after a latency period of two to five decades. Workers in industrial trades — maintenance, construction, shipyard, power generation, and manufacturing — are among those most frequently represented in asbestos litigation.
