China overtaking Brazil in sales of automotive friction materials

We have the very disturbing confirmation that new vehicles and replacement parts with asbestos continue to be sold in the United States.

About $103 million worth of brake components are imported annually from countries that mine asbestos and manufacture asbestos products (this includes Canada, India, and Peru).

China is superceding Brazil as the leading exporting country of automotive friction materials.

There is no official investigation to determine whether the required OSHA cancer warning labels are on asbestos brake products from these countries.

There is no information about the working conditions or pollution at the plants where these products are made.

There is no information about the business relationships that such manufacturers have with the major auto makers.
