Newman vs. Lorillard, and Hollingworth & Vose, Inc.

Newman vs. Lorillard, and Hollingsworth & Vose, Inc.

Description of Case:  Mr. Newman smoked a brand of cigarettes that had a filter that contained asbestos, and subsequently came down with an asbestos-related disease.  Lorillard made Kent cigarettes.  From 1952-56 Kent cigarettes contained the "Kent Micronetic Filter", an asbestos containing filter made by Hollingsworth and Vose.

This was a high profile case because it was only the second time a trial in the United States ended with a verdict against these tobacco companies for their asbestos containing filter.
