DuPont and several other asbestos manufacturers are facing a lawsuit after a woman developed Mesothelioma from doing her husbands laundry. Frances Barras, wife and mother of five children, has developed Mesothelioma from handling the clothes of her husband for many years.
Louis Barras, her husband, was a refinery worker at a DuPont facility from 1957 to 1985. Mrs. Barras diligently washed and cared for her husband’s asbestos-contaminated clothing, inhaling the dangerous asbestos fibers over the years.
The Barras family has sued DuPont and other asbestos manufacturers for failing to properly warn Mr. Barras of the dangers of his job, as well as failing to warn him how to protect his family from the effects of his job. The family claims that DuPont ignored the safety recommendations of the industry and failed to properly protect their employees and the families of their employees from harm.
