Ford has lost a lawsuit over asbestos exposure, and yet, did not take the logical precautions, and in August 2024, asbestos was found in Ford’s UK-based Parts Distribution Center resulting in it being shut down

Sadly, I know a family friend that died from mesothelioma, no doubt, many of you do to. 

Recently Ford lost a lawsuit, and the appeal, because the jury rightfully decided that Ford was liable for the mesothelioma of a former parts department employee at a Ford-Lincoln-Mercury dealership in Orchard Park, New York

Joseph Skrzynski worked at the dealership between 1975-1980, and was diagnosed with mesothelioma in 2021, a result from his handling of brake components from Ford over the course of that time period.

“During this five-year period, Skrzynski was exposed to asbestos on a daily basis,” according to his legal brief, “when he opened and handled boxes of Ford brakes and clutches; wiped dust off of the parts counter that accumulated from the manipulation of these boxes and from the brake work being performed in the adjacent garage; stood in close proximity to mechanics on over 1,000 occasions as they performed brake repair and replacement, including blowouts and sanding; and when the garage and equipment were swept, cleaned, and maintained at the end of the day.”
