Documented Asbestos Litigation

According to publicly filed asbestos litigation records (reviewed via CourtListener/RECAP), Mcneil Ohio has been named as a defendant in 200+ documented asbestos dockets filed between 2001 and 2021 — concentrated in the federal asbestos multidistrict litigation (In re: Asbestos Products Liability Litigation, MDL 875, E.D. Pennsylvania) and other U.S. district courts. Mcneil Ohio is named in these cases as a corporate successor entity: McNeil (Ohio) Company (a Pentair subsidiary) is liable as successor to McNeil Corporation, whose McNeil-Akron division supplied tire-curing presses that used asbestos insulation. The asbestos claims arise from products made by the predecessor company rather than by Mcneil Ohio under its current name.

Occupational Exposure and Asbestos Disease

Asbestos exposure is associated with mesothelioma, asbestosis, and asbestos-related lung cancer, typically after a latency period of two to five decades. Workers in industrial trades — maintenance, construction, shipyard, power generation, and manufacturing — are among those most frequently represented in asbestos litigation.
