United States Gypsum Company employees exposed to asbestos

In business for more than a century, U.S. Gypsum Company is another popular manufacturer of asbestos products that catered both to residential and commercial consumers. Similar to hundreds of other companies, it made use of tremendous amounts of asbestos for nearly six decades. A very wide range of building materials have been manufactured by U.S. Gypsum Company while they were employing asbestos, some of the most renowned brands being the joint compounds Durabond and Red Top. In addition to people who were directly involved in the production of these materials, individuals in the following industries might have also come in contact with hazardous U.S. Gypsum Company products: chemical, iron, and steel, maritime, railroad, textile, construction, rubber.

Secondary asbestos exposure, a serious concern for the family members of U.S. Gypsum Company workers
