Viable Defendants


Hundreds of companies knowingly put people at risk for exposure to asbestos.

The following list of companies have been named in asbestos lawsuits over the past few decades. These companies either manufactured or distributed asbestos related products in the United States.

If you worked for or at any of these companies, you may have been exposed to asbestos. If you were exposed to asbestos while working for them or with their products, you may have an elevated risk to develop the asbestos related cancer called mesothelioma.

Currently the majority of companies on this list are still in operation today.
