Substantial Confidential Settlement

Plastic Molding Asbestos Exposure: Ohio had a large number of molding companies that used asbestos molding compounds to manufacture many types of plastic parts and products.

Tragically, many of the workers in these plastic molding plants had no idea that the “plastic molding compounds” they were working with actually contained up to 50% asbestos. This has resulted in these workers developing asbestosis, lung cancer and mesothelioma.

Results: McDermott & Hickey, LLC, recently obtained a substantial settlement for an Ohio worker exposed to asbestos-containing plastic molding compounds and developed mesothelioma from this exposure.
