Consumer Product Safety Commission notice, published in the Federal Register of October 17, 1979, opening a formal investigation of asbestos in consumer products and asking for information and comment. It summarizes asbestos minerals, health effects and past CPSC actions. It states the Commission's plan to seek elimination of non-essential uses of asbestos in consumer products that release fibers in foreseeable use, and lists products that may contain asbestos. EPA's companion advance notice under the Toxic Substances Control Act on commercial and industrial uses of asbestos fibers follows on the same pages, with its own product list.
