The Manville Corporation is a well-known example of a company that knew about the dangers of asbestos and failed to protect its employees. The company was aware of the cancer-causing properties of asbestos as early as the 1930s but continued to use the product in its manufacturing processes for several decades. The company even went as far as to suppress information about the dangers of asbestos and intimidate employees who spoke out about their concerns. In 1982, Manville filed for bankruptcy due to the large number of lawsuits filed against the company by employees who had been exposed to asbestos.
