The handling, cutting and other work with these products caused the release of hazardous levels of asbestos fiber and dust from the products into the breathing zone of the worker, thereby causing the worker to be exposed to unsafe levels of asbestos. Exposure to asbestos can cause asbestos-related diseases including mesothelioma, lung cancer and asbestosis.
