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?
