Brake pads used to use asbestos.

there is a comically high amount of random shit that can be made of highly dangerous materials just be cause no one bothered to make regulation against it

like motherfucking breakpads. The average lawyer has more to do than care about the law on the materials of breakpads.

I thought that asbestos was outlawed. Though I do remember learning about its anti - fire uses in school. Yes, I am kinda old.
