It was reported in the news that a former handyman won $2 million in a successful mesothelioma lawsuit. The man was diagnosed with mesothelioma after spending years working with asbestos containing products such as pipes and joint compounds. As a handyman, the man had regular exposure to asbestos fibers released from asbestos containing products. The exposure occurred by inhalation of the asbestos fibers.

In the mesothelioma lawsuit, the former handyman alleged that there were inadequate warnings concerning the fatal dangers of asbestos on the asbestos containing products that he worked with. Allegedly, the lack of adequate warnings caused the former handyman to become exposed to deadly asbestos fibers.
