Workers Exposed to Asbestos Need to Keep a Close Eye on Their Health

It’s frightening to think that almost 70 years ago, manufacturers had even come to use asbestos as a component in cigarette filters, exposing not only their workers but also consumers at huge health risks. Hollingsworth & Vose Company has manufactured these type of cigarette filters for Lorillard Tobacco, for their original Kent cigarettes. Apart from these filters, like many other manufacturers at that time, their equipment may have also been containing asbestos, thus exposing a larger number of workers.

If you are a former Hollingsworth & Vose employee, you need to keep a close eye on your health. Asbestos-related diseases can take a long time to develop, even after the exposure has stopped. In order to promote early diagnosis, we offer medical screening free of charge. You can contact us for any further information regarding this matter.
