Definition
- From the 1990s, Owens Corning, an Ohio-based glass manufacturer that had been involved in selling an asbestos product from the late 1940s, was involved in some 243,000 asbestos-related claims, which drove the company to bankruptcy. The Owens Corning Corporation was established in 1935 as a partnership with the merger of two local companies, Owens-Illinois and Corning Glass Works.
