Child of Asbestos Worker Dies: ALCOA Sued

A lawsuit claims that a child's death from a rare cancer is the fault of her father's employer, Pennsylvania-based ALCOA, according to the Greenwire news service. The father hauled asbestos during his employ, reports Greenwire. The lawsuit, which seeks $10 million in punitive and $10 million in compensatory damages, states that the girl was exposed to asbestos dust and fibers when her father inadvertently brought them into the home. The girl died of mesothelioma, a disease associated with asbestos exposure.
