A Bunker Hill, Ohio woman has filed a lawsuit against 47 defendants after her husband died of mesothelioma cancer. Geraldine Kruemmelbein filed suit on August 20th in Madison County Circuit Court.

The suit lists 47 corporations, including Dow Chemical and Owens-Illinois Glass. Mrs. Kruemmelbein alleges that her husband’s death was “wrongfully caused” by asbestos exposure at his various places of work between 1950 and 1993.

The Kruemmelbein family struggled to support themselves after Robert was unable to continue working and is seeking over $350,000 in restitution and damages.

Robert Kruemmelbein was diagnosed in 2005 and passed away just over a year later as a result of his asbestos cancer.
