Background: Four cases of mesothelioma were noted in a workplace of some 110 persons at a tractor dealership between 2006 and 2023. Each worker had a different job title.
Methods: Medical-legal case material was reviewed and abstracted from four cases from the same dealership, all supplied via one law firm.
Results: Four mesotheliomas are reported from this single facility that used chrysotile asbestos automotive products. Two of the four cases had no other known exposures to asbestos.
Discussion: Automotive products containing chrysotile do appear capable of causing mesothelioma. Job category is not a good surrogate for exposure.
