From! E.L. Rogers Subi90t: FORD OES CARTON PACKAGING
SPECIFICATION 1-1516
Gerry Howard has advised that Ford Service has agreed to revise subject specification to replace the old asbestos CAUTION label with the new asbestos DANGER label. However, their attorneys have not made a decision regarding the balance of the warning which suggests a procedure for avoiding the generation of airborne asbestos dust.
Action:
Please advise our carton suppliers to revise the appropriate FORD SERVICE Imprint to read as follows:
DANGER CONTAINS ASBESTOS FIBERS
AVOID CREATING DUST CANCER AND LUNG DISEASE HAZARD
When servicing this brake lining or any component related to it or located near it, prevent asbestos dust from becoming airborne by vacuuming the assembly with an Industrial type vacuum cleaner equipped with a high efficiency filter system and by washing the assembly with an appropriate brake parts washer, if necessary. Never remove dust or dirt from this assembly by blowing with compressed air.
L-1516
It appears that all of the Ford OES product cartons used in Troy will require the L-lEffirimprint to be changed prior to the next printing run.

Some of the Tennessee cartons
(D5HZ-2007-K, L M, N E6DZ-2007-A, B, AMR, BMR, CMR AND DMR)
contain only asbestos-free products and should not carry the L-1516 asbestos warning legend.
