Asbestos Exposure Cancer Claims

Asbestos Cancer Lawyer Investigating Armstrong World Industries Toxic Exposure

The Lyon Firm is investigating cancer claims that qualify for compensation from the Armstrong World Industries asbestos trust. The Armstrong trust contains over $2 billion, making it one of the largest asbestos trusts. Around 600,000 people injured by Armstrong World products have made claims on the trust.

Armstrong World endangered thousands of Americans by using raw asbestos in its flooring, ceiling boards, tile, cabinets, insulation and cement. The company’s vinyl asbestos tile was found in homes across the country.

In 2006, Armstrong filed for bankruptcy after many former workers and contractors who installed Armstrong tile filed lawsuits after contracting an asbestos illness. Armstrong World factories were high-risk for job sites, and contractors who handled the products were also at high risk. Those at highest risk included the following:

  • Plant Workers
  • Floor Tile and Linoleum Layer
  • Insulation installers
  • Cement Mason

The company made asbestos-containing products until 1987. Armstrong World used the following asbestos products:

  • Vinyl and linoleum flooring
  • Limpet& Armaspray spray insulation (flock insulation)
  • Hydrocord Flooring Felt(floor backing)
  • Armaflex insulation
  • Accobest Gasketing Material
  • Accobest Gasketing Material
  • Accopac Asbestos Paper
  • Acoustic Cement
  • Accobest Gasketing Material
  • Asbestos Felt

Contact our legal team if you or a loved one have been diagnosed with cancer following employment at Armstrong World or another location infested with toxic building materials. We feel strongly in the fact that companies had a duty to protect their staff, and have a responsibility to compensate them for occupational cancers or illnesses sustained on their premises.

    What are the Current EPA Standards for Asbestos?

    According to the EPA Website, exposure to asbestos increases the risk of mesothelioma, lung cancer and asbestosis. That risk exacerbated smoking and spending years in work sites known to be constructed with the toxin.

    The CDC claims there is no safe amount of asbestos exposure, however, logically the more time workers spent in the presence of the material, the more likely they are to develop cancer. Thus, major health effects are known to be directly caused by asbestos exposure including lung cancer, pulmonary fibrosis, adenocarcinoma and mesothelioma.

    Curiously, the EPA has not taken measures to eradicate the toxin as safety advocates say they should. The European counterparts have all done so, but the US still has a number of hot spots around the country. Asbestos still exists in homes, schools, hospitals, factories, and other workplaces. New cancer cases are diagnosed each year.
