Campbell Soup Co.

Campbell Soup Co. employees exposed to asbestos

Since 2000, the company began having claims filed against it by former employees who alleged they came to struggle with terrible diseases as a consequence of having been exposed to asbestos while working for Campbell Soup Co. They state that they had to work in close proximity to equipment that was manufactured with asbestos. A lot of the asbestos exposure seems to have taken place at the plant located in Camden, New Jersey. Unnervingly, the plant is one of the 96 asbestos exposure sites in the state.

Even though the company was aware of the dangers of asbestos exposure, it continued using the mineral until it no longer had a choice, namely until 1980. Another important location where asbestos exposure is known to have occurred is the company’s mushroom plant facility in Ganges, Michigan. These are the occupational groups that may have been exposed to asbestos by Campbell Soup Co. during the last century:

• machinists
• boiler workers
• electricians
• heavy equipment operators
• steamfitters and pipefitters

Secondary asbestos exposure, a serious concern for the family members of Campbell Soup Co. workers

Although the chances of experiencing secondary asbestos exposure if you shared your home with a Campbell Soup Co. worker during the last century are quite small, there is a certain risk. Because employees were not required to change their clothes when they left work, they may have brought asbestos fibers in the house, from where family members could have inhaled or ingested them. Furthermore, when coming in contact with the employee who still had their work clothes on, their children and their spouses may have breathed in and swallowed toxic fibers from their clothes.
