A specification revision of November 4, 1970, from the Construction Materials Process and Quality Control Department of Owens-Corning Fiberglas in Toledo, revising Purchase Acceptance Standard PAS 2.1.43 for the printed shipping cartons of Kaylo beveled lag and Kaylo block, with "revised carton artwork." The new artwork carries a panel headed "CAUTION" that reads: "PRODUCT CONTAINS ASBESTOS FIBER. INHALATION OF DUST IN EXCESSIVE QUANTITIES OVER LONG PERIODS OF TIME MAY BE HARMFUL. AVOID BREATHING DUST." The four pages, marked as Exhibit 7, also include the January 1967 artwork it replaced.

What it shows
The 1967 carton already said "THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS ASBESTOS FIBER" and told users to avoid breathing dust and to wear a U.S. Bureau of Mines approved respirator if ventilation was not adequate, but it said nothing about harm. The 1970 revision added the word "CAUTION" and the sentence that heavy, long inhalation "may be harmful," much like the wording Johns-Manville put on its insulation that year (Bartlett's label memo). Neither names a disease.
