- hyko 6y agoOh my god – it turns out there never was an asbestos ban in the US...it was banned in the UK and 50 other countries in 1999 I think (although there was a dispensation until 2004 for repair of classic vehicles).
- MichaelZuo 6y agoYup, certain types of brake pads still use asbestos to this very day.
- colejohnson66 6y agoThe US never “needed” to ban it because consumer awareness of the downsides led to a de facto ban.
