Asbestos is one of the most dangerous substances in the natural world. It is a fine, light, and fibrous material, and it is extremely easy to inhale the particles or carry them around on hair and clothes. Inhaling a small bit of asbestos can cause serious long term health problems such as asbestosis, mesothelioma, or lung cancer. Most of these disease take years to show any symptoms, so most workers using defective respirators are unaware of the risks until it is too late.
There are a large number of companies who make respirators for workers who work with dangerous toxins like silica or asbestos or face hazardous working environments. The federal government stringently regulates the amount of asbestos that a worker can legally inhale over a working period, but unfortunately many so called "reliable" asbestos respirators are not up to the task of preventing injury. In fact, over 84,000 workers have filed claims against the company 3M Co. due to their defective respirator masks.
If you developed serious health complications because an asbestos respirator failed to perform its function you may be able to take legal action against the responsible party. Contact an experienced and dedicated attorney today who is ready to fight for you.
