Woman blames father's employers for asbestos exposure

A Texas woman suffering from mesothelioma is blaming her father's employers for her exposure to asbestos.

Cynthia Leigh Chason named at least three defendants she believed caused her father to work among asbestos. Cynthia suspects that he was exposed to asbestos consistently for about 20 years, and during this time brought fibers home on his clothing. He worked for Marathon Petroleum Company and as a contractor at BASF Corporation and shipyards.

The claim states Chason "was exposed to large quantities of asbestos from the products and/or machinery manufactured, sold, designed, supplied, distributed, mined, milled relabeled, resold, processed, applied, or installed by the above-named Defendants."
