Brake pads used to use asbestos.
Aftermarket pads are still allowed to.
Well, that's fucked up.
there is a comically high amount of random shit that can be made of highly dangerous materials just be cause no one bothered to make regulation against it
like motherfucking breakpads. The average lawyer has more to do than care about the law on the materials of breakpads.
I thought that asbestos was outlawed. Though I do remember learning about its anti - fire uses in school. Yes, I am kinda old.
Oh, thanks, I didn't know that.
