It was deceptive then, and it’s deceptive now.

Over 70 years ago a major asbestos insulation manufacturer marketed their products as “non-irritating and non-toxic.” They went further and asserted their asbestos insulation actually contributed to “worker well-being on the job.”

That same company, Owens Corning Fiberglas, eventually filed for bankruptcy protection.

We’ve seen this before.

Asbestos is toxic, whether it comes from a chunk of pipe insulation or a puff of Johnson & Johnson baby powder.

When will they learn?
