ASBESTOS LITIGATION: Aluminum Co. Sued By Ex-Employee's Daughter
----------------------------------------------------------------
Published December 19, 2003


A daughter of a former Aluminum Company of America worker sues 
the company and Breeding Insulation, the company that sold the 
asbestos material that he was allegedly exposed to.

Amanda Satterfield, 24, files a $20,000,000 suit and alleges 
that asbestos dust from her father's work clothes caused her to 
develop lung cancer.  She claims that she has been exposed to 
the deadly dust through the clothes her father worn from work at 
the ALCOA plant.

Doug Satterfield, the plaintiff's father, worked at the North 
Plant of ALCOA where he was exposed to asbestos-containing 
thermo-coupling wire and furnace insulation.  The suit alleges 
that Doug Satterfield was never warned of the dangers of 
asbestos exposure.  According to the lawsuit, the negligence of 
the defendant caused Amanda Satterfield to develop an asbestos-
related lung disease.

Mike Infante, ALCOA Communication and Community Affairs Manager 
said, "ALCOA has not yet been served with this lawsuit, so we 
have not had a chance to review the allegations and, therefore, 
are not in a position to comment at this time."

Breeding Insulation Co., Inc. did not issue any statement 
regarding the case as of press time.
