Asbestos Lawyers
Representing Square D Workers with Mesothelioma & Asbestos Cancer Claims
Workers at Square D plants in Ohio, Michigan and Iowa were potentially exposed to asbestos, and may develop lung diseases, including mesothelioma.
Square D is a manufacturer of circuit breakers and other electrical equipment headquartered in Andover, Massachusetts. Square D is now a brand of Schneider Electric, which acquired Square D in 1991.
Many former workers at Square D have been diagnosed with asbestos-related cancers, and other serious diseases. The bulk of the cases have been proven to be caused by toxic work sites managed by negligent employers in the electrical component industry.
The fibers from asbestos can be lodged in the lungs, which can cause permanent damage, and in some cases, tumors. Inhaled asbestos fibers can directly cause cancer and other disorders, including mesothelioma.
Nearly any worker in an old electrical plant could be at risk of developing serious health issues, including asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma.

Asbestos Exposure at Square D Plants
Manufacturers of electrical components regularly used asbestos in for electrical panels and other products. The material did a remarkable job in protecting structures from fires and electrocution. The deadly health risks, however, were not taking as seriously as they should have been.
Electrical panels and distribution boxes were once all made with toxic materials. Electrical currents produced a lot of heat, and if not grounded well, the currents can arc and cause a fire or electrical injury. Manufacturers like Square D sought materials that could make electrical supply and distribution safe, and were quick to adopt asbestos as a solution. The cheap mineral’s resistance to heat and electricity, and could easily be mixed in with cement, plastic, fabric and paper.
Corporations, with the help of leading medical professionals, knew of the horrible effects of inhaling asbestos dust before the 1960s, but the the link between asbestos exposure and specific cancers like, such as mesothelioma was not common knowledge until the 1980s.
