Mesothelioma Lawsuit Cites Asbestos in IBM Selectric Typewriters<br /> by [[Terri Oppenheimer]]<br /> accessed on 2026-10-17T23:00:20

Lawsuit with claims of asbestos exposure from use of typewriters stemming from typebar rests and other parts, but without any direct evidence of asbestos in the claimed machines.

Importantly here:

The claim does not specify exactly where or how much asbestos was used in the products, or how the victim’s exposure to asbestos in IBM equipment can be differentiated from other occupational or personal exposures the victim may have had.
