Historical asbestos-related occupational-health claims
Historical accounts of International Paper facilities describe extensive asbestos insulation in mills, walls, roofs, pipes, and boilers. Former workers have brought or been associated with illness claims, including mesothelioma allegations. The available reference material does not establish a single settlement, judgment, or definitive company-wide finding, so the matter is recorded as a historical occupational-health controversy rather than assigned a specific financial outcome.
Androscoggin Mill labor dispute
A strike at International Paper's Androscoggin Mill has been discussed in labor-history literature, including a book focused on the paperworkers' union local, politics, and the use of permanent replacements.
