Do you know who else was told that the product they were dealing with was completely safe? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radium_Girls http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radium_Girls The group who would come to be known as the Radium Girls. They were told that Radium was safe if ingested, and many of them would lick the tips of their paint brushes, or paint their teeth and nails with the substance.
