The lawsuit was brought by the wife of an advertising executive who died of mesothelioma at the age of 50. He died in 2002.

The man's exposure to asbestos took place decades ago. It is likely that he was exposed to asbestos from his father who had worked at a General Motors warehouse. It is believed that his father who had worked with asbestos products brought asbestos fibers home because asbestos fibers can cling to clothing. It then became possible for the deceased to have inhaled those asbestos fibers. It is also likely that the deceased was exposed to asbestos when he worked with auto parts at a summer job while he was a college student.

Asbestos cancers such as lung cancer and mesothelioma tend to take decades to develop. Thus, they tend to threaten the lives and finances of elder people who spent their working life working with asbestos products. Tragically, these people were never warned of the lethal dangers of asbestos nor were they given masks or other protective gear to prevent asbestos exposure. The injustice of living with an asbestos cancer is that many companies knew of the dangers of asbestos but chose to hide them in order to take commercial advantage of asbestos. As a result, thousands of people die from asbestos cancers such as mesothelioma every year in the U.S.
