PRODUCT USE
The manufacturers of acoustical panels started to incorporate asbestos in the 1920’s as it was believed that adding this mineral would make the product stronger and heat-resistant.
It was common for maintenance workers to be exposed to the dangers of asbestos acoustical panels if they worked in schools or churches, especially in ones that hadn’t been through recent renovations. Anytime old panels were being moved around, toxic particles were spread around the workers. You could have been exposed if:
- You found yourself working in old churches or schools
- You worked directly with asbestos acoustical panels
- You helped remove old acoustical panels
- In order to perform electrical work, you had to move around old acoustical panels
Companies liable for manufacturing or use of asbestos acoustical panels
- United States Gypsum Company
- Keene Corporation
- United States Mineral Products (Isolatek/CAFCO)
- Furnco Construction Corp.
