Family sues Boots over death of gran, 77, 'exposed to asbestos aged 15

THE family of a former shop girl who died 60 years after being allegedly poisoned by asbestos is suing Boots for £135,000.

Grandmother-of-four Anne Lawton, 77, who joined the high street chemist at 15, was diagnosed in 2019 with the incurable asbestoslinked cancer, mesothelioma.

She died in February 2021 before her compensation claim against Boots could reach the High Court.

She had said she was repeatedly exposed to deadly amounts of asbestos dust during a refit of her store in Hanley, Stoke, Staffs.
