On behalf of her deceased husband, Willie Mae Denson has filed suit against seven defendant corporations, claiming that his asbestos-related disease was caused by the companies’ failure to test the asbestos-containing products before they were introduced into the stream of commerce.
In this second suit, Mrs. Denson claims a different injury on behalf of her husband, Elijah Denson Sr., a laborer, furnace worker, and carpenter.
The suit also claims that the defendants, A.O. Smith Corp., Babcock Borsig Power, CBS Corp., Cleaver Brooks, General Refractories Co., Ingersoll Rand Co. and Lockheed Martin negligently continued to manufacture the products around which Elijah Denson worked, even after they were aware of the asbestos danger. The suit states that he was unaware of the hazards and defects in the asbestos-containing products.
