Bondex International

Bondex International employees exposed to asbestos

During the last century, Bondex International made use of asbestos in large amounts, as the mineral has numerous convenient properties, such as excellent resistance to fire, electricity and a wide range of chemicals. Furthermore, it was also very cheap at the time. At the moment, Bondex International, a manufacturer of patch and repair products, is headquartered in Medina County, Ohio, and owns 40 different companies. Despite their current renown, the business has a grim history, it – as well as 200 other companies in the U.S. – did not cease employing asbestos when executives found out about the terrible health consequences exposure could have. The occupations at the highest risk of developing a serious disease as a result of exposure to the asbestos products of this company are:

• factory workers
• construction workers
• roofers

Accordingly, Bondex International had been manufacturing products such as Dramex Texture Paint, Bondex All-Purpose Joint Cement, and Bondex Alumanation Aluminum Roof Coating for several decades, endangering the wellbeing of thousands of workers. Besides those who partook in production per se, masons, drywall tapers, as well as construction workers were also in contact with carcinogenic asbestos fibers. Due to the large number of personal injury lawsuits filed against it, the company sought Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 2010 and is expected to set up a trust fund in the near future.

Asbestos related cancer eligible for filing a claim

If you developed one of the following cancers as a result of occupational exposure, you are eligible for compensation. If you are too ill, a family member can help you with the legal process. In the unfortunate event that you pass away before recovering compensation, your surviving family members will receive compensation on your behalf.

• Lung Cancer
• Mesothelioma

If, however, you struggle with non-cancerous pleural diseases such as asbestosis, pulmonary fibrosis, pleural plaques, pleural effusion, diffuse pleural thickening, COPD (emphysema & chronic bronchitis), pleurisy, lung nodules, lung spots, asthma, pneumonitis, tuberculosis, rounded atelectasis or lung scarring, please seek a second or even a third opinion as the rate of misdiagnosis is very high among the victims of asbestos exposure.
