Johns-Manville
Johns-Manville was for decades the largest and most powerful asbestos company in the world. J-M produced countless tons of asbestos insulation, cement, plasters and other products during its 100 plus years as leading asbestos manufacturer before it filed bankruptcy 1982 to avoid paying the avalanche of lawsuits from its victims.
There is overwhelming evidence that J-M executives knew as early as the 1930s that its products were killing its workers, but hid the findings in the face of enormous profits. J-M, like other asbestos companies denied right up to the end that asbestos is dangerous.

One famous 1966 internal corporate J-M letter states: “My answer to the [asbestos] problem is: if you have enjoyed a good life while working with asbestos products why not die from it. There’s got to be some cause.” Johns Manville (sans hyphen) was bought by Berkshire Hathaway in 2001 and continues to be a highly profitable company.
If you or a loved one has developed mesothelioma cancer as a result of working for Johns-Manville, or with any of its products, you do have rights under asbestos law and may be eligible for a mesothelioma settlement.
