The Journey to Justice

This landmark verdict follows Bryce Zundel's tragic diagnosis of biphasic malignant mesothelioma, which was traced back to the use of "Sterile Talc Powder" during a medical procedure. Although the FDA approved the talc utilized, investigations uncovered that Cimbar's talc contained harmful asbestos, resulting in Mr. Zundel's mesothelioma diagnosis—a condition Cimbar acknowledged at trial would ultimately be fatal.

The Role of the Legal Team

Leading this crucial case was Danny R. Kraft of Meirowitz & Wasserberg, whose tireless advocacy played a pivotal role in achieving this landmark verdict. Mr. Kraft managed all aspects of the trial, from opening and closing arguments to the examination of witnesses. His team included Mark Linder and Darron Berquist of The Lanier Law Firm and local counsel Chris Duffy, along with unwavering support from their staff and Ed Smith. Together, they crafted a compelling case that resonated with the jury.
