Description: McMaster-Carr Supply Company Catalog (1975) General Catalog No. 81 (~1600 pgs) The McMaster Carr Supply Company is a privately held firm which has been sued successfully in court for asbestos related illnesses in several states. Recently in 2009 a worker with asbestos exposure sued McMaster Carr for injuries he sustained while working at the Ford Motor Co. Rouge plant in Detroit, between 1964 and 1972. The jury awarded him $60,000 for past non-compensatory damages, and $300,000 for future pain and suffering. He also was awarded $60,000 per year for three years of lost wages. Mesothelioma & Your Rights: Mesothelioma, or more precisely malignant mesothelioma, is a rare form of cancer that develops in the protective lining that covers many of the body's internal organs, the mesothelium. It is usually caused by exposure to asbestos. Its’ most common site is the pleura (outer lining of the lungs and internal chest wall), but it may also occur in the peritoneum (the lining of the abdominal cavity), the heart, the pericardium (a sac that surrounds the heart) or tunica vaginalis (serous covering of the testicles). (referenced from Wikipedia) The McMaster Carr Supply Company of Chicago, Illinois may not want you to know that the harmful asbestos containing products offered in their catalog may have exposed people to serious health risks. As one of the largest industrial/commercial suppliers in the U.S., the McMaster Carr Supply Company sold these products for decades! Someone you know may have been exposed to these asbestos containing products and may have legal options for compensation. Mesothelioma litigation has helped thousands receive financial assistance to cover medical expenses and lost income. Those diagnosed with mesothelioma have legal options and may seek compensation through mesothelioma litigation. Filing a claim against the entity responsible for your asbestos exposure may result in compensation for the costs, as well as pain and suffering, associated with asbestos-induced illnesses. Know your legal rights!
