United States Gypsum Company plant at South Plainfield, New Jersey

In sworn answers in a 1986 lawsuit, and again in 1988 answers in the Northern District of Oklahoma, United States Gypsum Company listed South Plainfield, New Jersey (printed "S. Plainfield, NJ"), as the manufacturing location of two fireproofing products: SprayDon Standard A, "First Produced: 1966 Last Produced: 1971," and SprayDon Standard G, "First Produced: 1968 Last Produced: 1970."^1,2

A later page of the 1988 answers, listing why products were discontinued, gives a "Last Date of Manufacture" of 1972 for both, and says they were discontinued "At the direction of Sprayon Research Corporation"; the answers do not reconcile the two sets of dates.² The company's answers give the asbestos content of SprayDon Standard A as "29.7% by volume" and of SprayDon Standard G as "7.6% by volume"; those figures describe the products in general, not South Plainfield's output in particular.^1,2
