Mismanagement of Asbestos Program in Flint
A federal audit completed in 2017 found that Land Bank mismanaged a Flint asbestos program in demolitions by failing to confirm materials that contained the dangerous substance were properly disposed of and handled. The Office of Special Inspector General for the Troubled Asset Relief Program reported that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers found three high areas of high risk in the program, including the removal and storage of asbestos, use of appropriate landfills and use of proper material to fill holes left by demolition work.
General Motors and Mesothelioma Lawsuits in Flint Michigan
Some of the largest asbestos lawsuits have been against automotive manufacturers. Many of these are headquartered in Michigan, but claims are often filed in other states. General Motors was headquartered in Flint in 1908. In addition to manufacturing cars, the company also produced naval ships, fighting planes, tanks and weapons. The company produced and purchased parts that contained asbestos, resulting in thousands of asbestos lawsuits. These often involved brake linings and clutch facings. The company filed bankruptcy in 2009 and established a $625 million asbestos bankruptcy trust in 2012.
