J. L. Myers to W. C. Thurber on Calidria Bag Labelling (1976)

Internal correspondence responding to a request from W. C. Thurber about the warning text on Calidria asbestos bags. It states that bag labelling began in June 1968 with a 'breathing dust may be harmful' warning, and that in June 1972, when the OSHA Standards were promulgated, the warning was changed to a caution that the bags contain asbestos fibers. It adds that old bags were not destroyed in 1972 but the change was made as new bags were ordered.
