Procter & Gamble Company — Corporate Overview

Premises Description

Procter & Gamble Company (P&G) has been named as a premises defendant in publicly filed U.S. asbestos personal-injury and wrongful-death litigation for alleged asbestos exposure across its national consumer-products, chemical, and pulp-mill manufacturing network — including the historic Ivorydale complex in Cincinnati / St. Bernard OH (soap, detergent, oleochemical), the Long Beach CA plant, the Kansas City MO plant, the Baltimore MD plant, the Mehoopany PA pulp and paper mill (Charmin / Bounty / Pampers pulp base), the Green Bay WI paper operation, the Cape Girardeau MO plant, and the Cincinnati OH Winton Hill / Sharon Woods R&D campuses.

P&G consumer-products and pulp plants are heavy industrial premises: soap-kettle rooms, oleochemical splitting and fatty-acid halls, detergent spray-dryer towers, sulfonation and slurry-mix buildings, paper machines and pulp-mill digester and recovery-boiler areas, powerhouse steam plants, and refrigeration systems. Plaintiffs alleged in publicly filed U.S. asbestos personal-injury and wrongful-death litigation that pre-1980 P&G plant premises involved asbestos through:

  • Asbestos pipe covering on soap-kettle, detergent-slurry, and oleochemical process steam mains
  • Asbestos sheet gaskets at soap-kettle, spray-dryer, oleochemical-reactor, pulp-digester, and process flanges
  • Asbestos block and cork insulation on ingredient and consumer-product cold-chain equipment
  • Asbestos rope packing on P&G pumps, valves, agitators, and centrifuges
  • Asbestos refractory and gaskets at powerhouse boilers, spray-dryer combustion chambers, and pulp-mill recovery boilers
  • Asbestos sprayed fireproofing on structural steel in multi-story Ivorydale, Long Beach, Kansas City, and Mehoopany halls
  • Asbestos millboard, arc chutes, and panel materials in plant switchgear
  • Asbestos-lined pulp digesters, dryer felts, and paper-machine dryer sections at Mehoopany and Green Bay

  • Pipefitters (UA) breaking asbestos-gasketed flanges on soap kettles, spray dryers, oleochemical reactors, digesters, and process piping
  • Boilermakers servicing asbestos-refractory-lined powerhouse and pulp-mill recovery boilers
  • Millwrights rebuilding P&G pumps, agitators, spray-dryer atomizers, and paper machines
  • Refrigeration mechanics working on cork-insulated ingredient and cold-chain equipment
  • Papermakers, pulp workers, and USW workers around asbestos digesters, dryer felts, and paper machines at Mehoopany and Green Bay
