Hollingsworth & Vose Company

Hollingsworth & Vose Company employees exposed to asbestos

During the last century, Hollingsworth & Vose Company 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. It is 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. 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
• maintenance workers
• paper mill workers

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.
