Owens-Corning Fiberglas Corporation's Newark plant, on Case Avenue in Newark, Ohio, "began operation as an OC facility in 1938," the company said in its sworn answers to interrogatories in a 1997 lawsuit, Greco against A-Best Products.¹ According to those answers, it "produced a small quantity of asbestos-containing products including cements, sewn blankets, metal mesh blankets and Type II Mastic."¹ The answers go on: "The other plants are still in operation producing nonasbestos-containing products."¹ They also say that "certain records were lost or destroyed when OC's Newark, Ohio, plant was damaged by a flood in 1959."¹
