20 (Eagle-Picher)

20 was an Eagle-Picher cement, which the company's sworn answers in two lawsuits call "its asbestos cement, Eagle 20."1,2,3 An insurance company's 1981 list of asbestos products, compiled from other companies' answers in lawsuits, gives it as made from 1942 to 1960, and gives 75 in the column read as percent asbestos.1

Eagle-Picher's answers, given in 1969 and 1970, say that in 1967 it dropped Eagle 20 from its general product line, and that since 1967 it had been sold in limited quantities to one customer only, in Toledo, Ohio.2,3 The 1970 answers say Eagle-Picher began putting the warning "Caution: This product contains asbestos fiber" on the bags or packages of its asbestos cements in May or June of 1964; they say this of those cements generally, without naming Eagle 20.3
