He sued numerous companies for product liability, including Forest Wheeler, because it manufactured a boiler at an Oklahoma oil refinery where he had been in 1957 for a couple of weeks. Even though the boiler did not come with any insulation, his attorneys argued that the company knew or should have known that use of the boiler would involve asbestos insulation and that the company should have wanted people using the boiler.
McCLAREN, MALCOLM (January 22, 1946 - April 8, 2010): Former manager of the rock bands the Sex Pistols and New York Dolls. He was diagnosed with peritoneal mesothelioma in October 2009.

McQUENN, STEPHEN (March 24, 1930 - November 7, 1980): American movie actor. He was diagnosed with peritoneal mesothelioma in December 1979 and was not offered chemotherapy or surgery because the disease was too advanced. He sought alterative treatments in clinics in Mexico. The treatment he received was highly non-conventional and included frequent shampoos, injection of live cells from cows and sheep, massage, an ineffective and potentially toxic chemical known as laetrile, supposed use of a “natural” Mexican anti-cancer drug, and coffee enemas (inserting coffee into the anus to cleans the large intestine). He ultimately died of a heart attack one following surgery in Mexico to remove a neck tumor. He may have been exposed to asbestos as a young Marine since asbestos was used to insulate pipe shipping and he removed a lot of asbestos from these pipes at the time. He also may have been exposed to asbestos when wearing automobile racing suits when driving racecars since it was used an insulating material for protective racing suits and helmets. Another possibility is that he was exposed to asbestos used in soundstage insulation.
