United States Gypsum Company plant at Sigurd, Utah

In sworn answers in a 1986 lawsuit, United States Gypsum Company listed Sigurd, Utah, as the manufacturing location of Red Top Wood Fiber Plaster - Regular, a basecoat plaster in the company's Red Top line, "First Produced: 1948 Last Produced: 1972."¹ The company's 1988 answers in the Northern District of Oklahoma list a basecoat made at Sigurd over the same years, 1948 to 1972, though the product's name is cut off on the copy.² The same 1986 answers give Red Top Wood Fiber Plaster - Regular, wherever it was made, a first year of 1945, and the company's answers give Red Top plaster an asbestos content of "9.7% by volume"; those figures describe the product in general, not Sigurd's output in particular.^1,2
