Subject: Corporate Insurance Concurrence o f a Rotunda New Product
In la te November, A1 Updegrove and I met with you in your o ffic e
to discuss insurance implications of Rotunda products. In p articu lar, we
discussed the potential product l i a b i l i t y associated with the Asbestos Dust
Vacuum Cleaner. This is now a Rotunda item recently added to the product
lin e .
.
You w ill r e c a ll that the Asbestos Vacuum Cleaner is required to meet OSHA requirements. Breathing of a sig n ific a n t volume of usbestos dust
over a prolonged period is believed to be cancerous. Accordingly, we d is
cussed with you the product l i a b i l i t y associated w ith-this item, and you
requested that you have an opportunity to review a c e r tific a te o f insurance issued for this supplier.
Such a c e r tific a te is attached fo r your review wr>H concurrence.
We appreciate your assistance.
