This is an important week. Although the use of asbestos in products has declined over the years, it wasn’t fully banned in the United States until last year! Asbestos-containing materials (ACM) are still sold and used in the United States today – and will be until this new rule fully takes effect (effective dates vary by product category and use, but may be as long as five to 10 years for some uses).
