General Foods was a prominent food processing and manufacturing company that operated in White Plains, New York, serving as one of the largest employers in the region during the 20th century. The facility's extensive operations included food processing, packaging, and distribution, employing thousands of workers throughout its operational years.
The company's industrial operations required significant mechanical and heating systems, which commonly utilized asbestos-containing materials for insulation and fire protection. Like many industrial facilities of its era, the use of asbestos-containing materials in equipment, machinery, and building components was widespread, potentially exposing workers to harmful asbestos fibers.
Exposure to asbestos can lead to several serious health conditions, including mesothelioma, lung cancer, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Other devastating conditions linked to asbestos exposure include ovarian cancer, laryngeal cancer, and renal (kidney) cancer, which may develop decades after initial exposure.

Asbestos-related diseases have an unusually long latency period, often taking decades for symptoms to appear. New York's "discovery rule" accounts for this unique characteristic in asbestos cases. Under this rule, the statute of limitations begins when the illness is discovered or should have been discovered with reasonable diligence, rather than from the date of exposure.
For personal injury claims in New York, victims have three years from the date of discovery to file a claim. In wrongful death cases related to asbestos exposure, families have two years from the date of death to take legal action. The Porter Law Group can help ensure your claim is filed within these crucial deadlines.
Victims of asbestos exposure may be eligible for compensation covering:
