Having had a  mate who as a young man worked at Wittenoom in the bagging 
plant and died at the age of 31 of Asbestosis, I certainly would handle the 
stuff in ''Full Body Armour"" as Reg puts it! The three months '' Holiday 
Job'' was Peters one and only contact with Asbestos ,a fatal one as it 
turned out.
I am sure what Patrick was referring to was the inclusion of the product in 
imported Chinese toys .These were remote controlled cars .............when 
they eventually break a lot of boys would start to take them to pieces and 
then come into contact with the Asbestos.
If the product is hazardous surly we want the Government to tell us!!
