A UK asbestos company started in 1958 to downplay the known danger of asbestos, while lobbying to allow continued use of it. It continued this through the 70s, also concealing some of its research.

Although the company was sold in 2017, some of the people who managed it in 1980 may still be alive. And some of those who managed it in 2000 and 2010 may be culpable for concealing the danger.

The possibility of being sued many years later is clearly not enough to deter companies from doing it in field after field. I think it should be a felony to aid such a plot.
