Dear Toby:
The other day I read in the "W all Street Journal** where Raybestos was being - sued by 160 employees due to the fact that they were not properly notified of the hazards of working around a sb e sto s . As you know, we cten cll our segment boxes as a warning of th is hazard, a s follow o;-
:
.
c& irao N CONTAINS ASBESTOS FIBRES . AVOID CREATING DUST BREATHING ASBESTOS DUST MAY CAUSE SERIOUS BODILY HARM
I know you have taken steps to protect your people; however, It comes to mind that you may have some respon sibility to .your custom ers and might consider Including thtg same caution on your boxes or la b e ls. This could also be used a s another strong reason for discouraging field grinding of brake shoes by the Jobbers and/or brake shops.

Should you have any further rrm stlan s or comments regarding th is , wo would be happy to d iscu ss them with you.
. Sincerely,
