ASBESTOS “EMBERIZING” MATERIALS

Where can I find the bans on consumer patching compounds and emberizing materials containing asbestos?

The bans are published in the Code of Federal Regulations (C.F.R.) in Title 16, Parts 1304 and 1305. You can obtain the banning regulation from the Commission’s Web site at: www.cpsc.gov

This document, published August 2002, is a simple unofficial description of the ban on certain products that contain asbestos and does not replace or supersede any requirements published in 16 C.F.R. 1304 and 1305.
