Aug 29, 2007 - HUNTERS POINT SHIPYARD ASBESTOS HAZARD LAWSUIT FILED IN SAN FRANCISCO
The Center for Self-Improvement and Community Development (The Center) has filed suit in San Francisco Superior Court under Proposition 65 — California's "right to know" law — against Lennar Corp., and Lennar's subcontractor, Gordon N. Ball. The lawsuit alleges that Lennar and Ball failed to notify the community of the asbestos hazards created when an entire hilltop was graded at Hunters Point Shipyard in order to develop a 1,500-unit condominium complex.
The suit alleges that Lennar and Ball graded, scraped and excavated materials containing asbestos and continues to engage in these activities without having first provided "the adjacent community and persons working at the site with toxic health hazard warnings under California's 'right to know' law." The Center alleges it did not learn that asbestos dust was being created by Lennar's construction until six months after grading began in 2006.
Asbestos has been listed as a carcinogen since 1987 and has been subject to Prop. 65's warning requirements since 1988. Asbestos is known to cause several types of cancer, including malignant mesothelioma and lung cancer.
