ST. LOUIS – A former laborer alleges asbestos in products he worked with during his career caused him to develop lung cancer.
Glenn Norton filed a complaint on April 18 in the St. Louis 22nd Judicial Circuit Court against CBS Corp., General Electric Co., Honeywell International Inc., et al. alleging negligence and other counts.
According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that at various times during his career from 1958 to 1983 at various locations in Vermont and New York, he was exposed to and inhaled or ingested asbestos fibers emanating from certain products manufactured, sold, distributed or installed by the defendants. The suit states that on or about Jan. 4, 2016, he first became aware that he developed lung cancer, an asbestos-induced disease, and that the disease was wrongfully caused.
The plaintiff holds CBS Corp., General Electric Co., Honeywell International Inc., et al. responsible because the defendants allegedly intentionally included asbestos fibers in their products when they knew that it had toxic, poisonous and highly deleterious effect to human health and failed to provide adequate warnings and instructions concerning the dangers of working with or around products containing asbestos fibers.
The plaintiff requests a trial by jury and seeks compensatory and economic damages of no less than $25,000. He is represented by Laci M. Whitley of Flint Law Firm LLC in Edwardsville.
