Each year more than 10,000 Americans die each year from diseases linked to asbestos, such as mesothelioma. As the asbestos lawyers, we see the difficulties this can cause disease on individuals and families first hand.
The worst is that it is a preventable disease. Many people think of preventive measures have already been taken through a ban on asbestos, but it's not true. Asbestos is still used in some products in the United States. In Canada, it is legal to exploit and export the deadly mineral for developing countries like India.
Awareness Organization Asbestos Disease organized a petition against the use of asbestos in North America. Published today, the goal is to collect 10,000 signatures to send to President Barack Obama and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
Please give a few minutes of your time to sign the petition and forward to your friends and family.
