Freedom from asbestos not one of the valued freedoms in that much-vaunted most freest of places, then?

RFK should be in jail for the damage he did with his antivaxx rhetoric, not doing his best to make sure we all get cancer.

Here I am worried that the house I might buy could have asbestos somewhere in it, meanwhile my government suggests it’s fine to put it on one’s face

wow, nothing says healthy like finding out you have mesothelioma in 20 years.
Feels like a good time for California to step in and push this through themselves. Generally other states/brands will automatically follow through to be able to sell in California

Basically, you’re supposed to be rich (so you can afford to pay out of pocket for everything and fly to a different country to get vaccinated) or die.

Ironically, requiring asbestos testing would save cosmetics companies millions of dollars.
Some people win asbestos contamination lawsuits from cosmetics companies, even when there is evidence that their homes with asbestos insulation are most likely leaking it and falling into their powders.
If they tested all batches before selling them, they would have evidence that their products were not the source of contamination and can even recall the products before people are exposed to enough asbestos over time to get ill.

We can’t get Korean sunscreen ingredients approved but asbestos is no problem.

I wonder what the regulations on cosmetic talc are like outside of the US? Because I own several Dasique blushes that have talc, and I remember the new YSL powder blushes were talc-based. Does it undergo small batch testing in the EU and Korea, or is everyone just shrugging at it?

Welp. Prepare to stop using certain brands if they stop testing
