When lighter and stronger wallboard was developed by National Gypsum, the company offered a ‘gold bond’ certificate to anyone that bought the product. The wallboard became quickly known as Gold Bond. The product line sold under this name expanded and Gold Bond became a division of National Gypsum Company. A wide range of asbestos-containing products was manufactured and sold under the Gold Bond name from 1950 until 1970. These construction materials were endangering the lives of the workers that installed or removed them.
Claim EvaluationInitially referring to the brand name of wallboard manufactured by National Gypsum, Gold Bond eventually became a division of the company, expanding to include other building materials as well, such as siding, joint compounds, and texture paint. By virtue of the excellent fire resistance and insulating properties it has, asbestos was a common ingredient in construction products during the last century and National Gypsum was just one of the numerous U.S. manufacturers which employed it. Accordingly, Gold Bond building materials would also contain asbestos, which was no secret to workers or consumers.
However, since company executives went to incredible lengths to hide the disastrous health consequences of asbestos exposure, people were completely unaware of the carcinogenic nature of this mineral. The occupations at the highest risk of developing a serious disease as a result of the asbestos exposure either from working at Gold Bond or with their products are:
Considering the fact that asbestos-related diseases may take a long time to develop, it's extremely important that anyone who has a history of asbestos exposure regularly monitor their health. In the interest of promoting the importance of early diagnosis, we are offering screenings free of charge for Gold Bond employees.
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 MesotheliomaIf, 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.
