A woman from Fairmont says she developed lung cancer as a result of her regular exposure to asbestos during her employment.
Norma Jean Keener has filed a lawsuit against 30 defendant companies who are allegedly responsible for her present condition. The suit was filed on January 20 in Kanawha Circuit Court.
According to the complaint, she was diagnosed with asbestos-related lung cancer on 28th May, 2010.
Keener says the companies exposed her to various asbestos-contaminated products while she was employed as a packer and inspector at Owens-Illinois for around 30 years.
The plaintiff argues the companies didn?t warn her regarding the hazards of asbestos exposure while asking her to work around products containing the dangerous substance.
She is asking for a trial to settle the issues. A visiting judge will preside over the case.
Regular exposure to asbestos can cause fatal diseases such as lung cancer, mesothelioma and asbestosis.
