United States Gypsum Company plant at Nephi, Utah

United States Gypsum Company listed its plant at Nephi, Utah, in its sworn answers in two asbestos lawsuits, in 1986 and 1988, as the place where it made two of its Red Top plasters.^1,2 By the 1986 answers, Nephi made Red Top Patching Plaster, a "Finish Plaster," from 1942 to 1946, and Red Top Wood Fiber Plaster - Regular, a "Basecoat," from 1945 to 1952.¹ The 1988 answers give the same Nephi years, though the product names are cut off in that copy.²

The same answers give wider years for those products as a whole, made at all of the company's plants: Red Top Patching Plaster "First Produced 1929" and "Last Produced 1951," and Red Top Wood Fiber Plaster - Regular "First Produced 1945" and "Last Produced 1972."¹ Those are not Nephi's years; the Nephi years are the ones above.¹
