Connecticut Asbestos Exposure Sites
Until the late 1970s, asbestos was widely used in Connecticut industrial and manufacturing facilities with little awareness of its dangers. Workers at the following sites have been diagnosed with mesothelioma and asbestos-related cancers at significant rates:
- •Electric Boat, Groton — submarine construction and naval shipyard work involved heavy asbestos use in insulation, pipe fitting, and boiler rooms
- •Pratt & Whitney Aircraft, East Hartford — engine manufacturing facilities used asbestos in gaskets, insulation, and heat-resistant materials
- •Sikorsky Aircraft, Stratford — helicopter manufacturing involved asbestos-containing brake linings, insulation, and fireproofing materials
- •General Electric, multiple Connecticut locations — GE operated facilities in Bridgeport, Plainville, and other CT cities where asbestos was used in electrical insulation and industrial equipment
- •Connecticut shipyards — workers at naval and commercial shipyards in Groton and New London faced significant asbestos exposure in confined spaces
- •Shingle manufacturing — workers at facilities including Bendex (Green Island, New York) and GAF have been diagnosed with mesothelioma linked to asbestos used in roofing materials
- •US Navy and military service — sailors, shipyard workers, and military personnel were among the most heavily exposed groups in the 20th century. Steve McQueen, who died of mesothelioma in 1980, attributed his exposure to asbestos insulation during his service in the US Marine Corps. Veterans who were exposed during military service may be entitled to both VA disability benefits and civil litigation compensation.
- •Automotive brake and clutch repair — mechanics who worked with asbestos-containing brake linings and clutch facings face elevated risk
- •Construction and insulation trades — pipe fitters, boilermakers, electricians, and insulation workers throughout Connecticut
If you worked at any of these facilities or in any trade with known asbestos exposure, and you or a family member have been diagnosed with mesothelioma or an asbestos-related illness, contact us for a free case evaluation.

Companies With Active Asbestos Trusts:
Talc and Cosmetic Powder — A Lesser-Known Cause of Mesothelioma
Most people associate mesothelioma with occupational asbestos exposure — shipyards, construction, insulation. But a lesser-known and increasingly litigated cause is exposure to talc-based products contaminated with asbestos.
Talc is a naturally occurring mineral that forms near asbestos deposits. During the mining process, the two minerals can mix, resulting in talc products that carry asbestos fibres. Johnson & Johnson's talc-based baby powder is the most documented example — internal company documents revealed in investigative reporting showed that J&J had known for decades about asbestos contamination in its talc. At least three independent laboratories identified asbestos in J&J talc samples. Over 90,000 lawsuits have been filed against J&J relating to talc and mesothelioma.
Other talc-based cosmetic and industrial products may carry the same risk. If you or a family member have been diagnosed with mesothelioma and have a history of talc or cosmetic powder use — particularly Johnson's Baby Powder or Shower to Shower products — you may have a legal claim even without a traditional occupational asbestos exposure history.
