Asbestos Company Is Indicted

From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch: "Asbestos Indictments Are Called a First Step," by Andrew Schneider--

The federal indictment announced Monday against W.R. Grace & Co. should be used as a blueprint for criminal investigations in at least 40 other states - including Missouri - where Grace operated, public health and worker safety leaders said.

Grace and seven of its current and former officials were accused of knowing that the asbestos-contaminated vermiculite being mined in Libby, Mont., was endangering workers and residents.

It's worth mentioning that not only did the accused conceal information about its mining operations but they allegedly obstructed the government's cleanup effort, which was aimed at cleaning up the mess their company had caused.
