North American Refractories Company's Notice of Compliance with Plaintiffs' Request to Produce in Madison County (1987)

North American Refractories Company's Notice of Compliance with the plaintiffs' request to produce, In re Asbestos
Litigation regarding cases filed by Schooley, Circuit Court of Madison County, Illinois, Nos. 86-L-1726 through 86-L-2458.
It was served on Bono, Haine & Schooley by NARCO's lawyers, Coburn, Croft & Putzell. The year is printed only as
"198_"; the certificate of service (p. 51) is dated in hand the 14th of September, and a "Received Sep 15 1987" stamp
on p. 1 supplies the year, so the paper dates from September 1987. The copy is marked Plaintiff's Exhibit NAR-1.

The answers (pp. 1-3) refer to sales records and exhibits attached to NARCO's interrogatory answers, which are not in
this file. NARCO said it had a "small line of asbestos-containing products" with very small amounts of asbestos,
mostly in wet or encapsulated form, and so gave no warnings. It pointed to Eagle-Picher's asbestos warnings for its
"relabeled Stazon and Unicote" and said both were discontinued by 1971.

Exhibit E (pp. 4-50) holds NARCO literature: a basic refractories brochure (Bulletin 133), two copies of a castables
catalog (Bulletin 121, revised 11/73), an undated Refractories Guide, 1963-65 sales-service reports, a 1970 bulletin
introducing AEROGUN (vermiculite-based, made at Curwensville, Pa. and Farber, Mo.), a 1961 bulletin on an improved
NARCOLITE, and January 1963 sheets for Staz-On and Unicote, both described as mineral wool cements. None of the
literature mentions asbestos. Pages 51-55 are the service list.
