Owens Illinois Asbestos Use<\/h2>\n

Owens-Illinois produced insulation products under the brand name Kaylo that contained asbestos<\/a>, exposing countless hardworking men and women to this cancer-causing mineral.<\/p>\n

This led to thousands of lawsuits<\/strong>\u00a0filed by people diagnosed with mesothelioma<\/a> and other asbestos-related diseases.<\/p>\n

As its legal liabilities grew, Owens-Illinois declared bankruptcy to protect itself against more asbestos lawsuits. In order to stay in business, it established an asbestos trust fund<\/a> to compensate current and future victims who were exposed to its products.<\/p>\n

Asbestos was used in Kaylo insulation until the 1970s when it was replaced with fiberglass.<\/p>\n
