A New Jersey jury awarded a Linden woman $7.5 million verdict against ExxonMobile Corp., saying she contracted peritoneal mesothelioma as a result of handling her husband’s clothing. John Anderson was employed at a refinery that was owned by ExxonMobile at the time, and his wife Bonnie had secondary exposure to his “take home” asbestos fibers for years, according to a report in NJBIZ magazine.

ExxonMobile was found responsible for the mesothelioma cancer last year. The trial to determine damages began approximately two weeks ago, resulting in the $7.5 million verdict in favor of Mrs. Anderson. According to the report, ExxonMobile plans to appeal the verdict.
