If you read the article, the concerns are about 15 or so years ago.

AsBESTos always gets a bad rap.
Anything with the word "Best" in it's name can't be all bad.
Just like SmoKING, with "King" in the name it can't be all bad.
If it was up to me Smoking would be allowed everywhere again.
Those that didn't like it would have to suck it up and ACCEPT it as part of INDIVIDUAL FREEDOM.

I did, the most concern is from products made 15 years ago. Most of them have been out of circulation since then.

The problem is the "latency period" following exposure . . .

The amount of exposure matters greatly, packing chutes is extremely minimal exposure. Rubbing it all over yourself is significant exposure.
