On March 5, 2007, New York County Supreme Court Justice Karen S. Smith ruled that training manuals from Ford Co., and other companies, can be submitted at trial. Admissions of Ford that its asbestos-containing brakes are hazardous and can cause cancer. This ruling was handed down in a case involving complex asbestos litigation filed in New York City by the mesothelioma lawyers of Levy Phillips & Konigsberg, LLP.
The Ford training manuals' references to the asbestos hazards contradict Ford's position that asbestos-containing brakes are safe. The training materials are part of Ford's nationwide training program for independent Ford dealership employees, vocational instructors and automotive students. Ford offers its training materials to these groups as well as the public at large through the sale of publications, videos, and web-based training. In these materials, whenever Ford addresses asbestos in brakes, it warns of the asbestos hazards to health and often warns that asbestos from brakes can cause diseases including cancer.
