Asbestos cancer kills thousands of Americans each year.
The industry titans that used asbestos products knew—for decades—how carcinogenic the "miracle mineral" was and did not warn or protect their employees from the risks posed by asbestos exposure.
Corporations put profits over the lives of their workers and those workers' families. Many were left unaware of the link between their exposure to asbestos and their cancer.
